Now a Read With Jenna Book Club Pick Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver presents a personal selection of her best work in this definitive collection spanning more than five decades of her esteemed literary career. “I love [Mary's] work. It’s about nature and love and what it means to be human. . . . I find her poetry to be so cathartic and beautiful.” –Jenna Bush Hager “No matter where one starts reading, Devotions offers much to love.” — The Washington Post Throughout her celebrated career, Mary Oliver has touched countless readers with her brilliantly crafted verse, expounding on her love for the physical world and the powerful bonds between all living things. Identified as "far and away, this country's best selling poet" by Dwight Garner, she now returns with a stunning and definitive collection of her writing from the last fifty years. Carefully curated, these 200 plus poems feature Oliver's work from her very first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other Poems , published in 1963 at the age of 28, through her most recent collection, Felicity , published in 2015. This timeless volume, arranged by Oliver herself, showcases the beloved poet at her edifying best. Within these pages, she provides us with an extraordinary and invaluable collection of her passionate, perceptive, and much-treasured observations of the natural world.

Good paperback
Binding and paper is good for a paperback. I had her ‘Dog songs’; this one is also nice if you want to read poems from different collections at one place.

A Poetic Gift to the World
In contrast to most modern poetry, with its fetish for complication and complexity, density and obscurity, the late Mary Oliver is a nature poet celebrated and revered for her direct and accessible language that encourages introspection and attentiveness, compassion and contemplation. Reading Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver makes me feel better, not figuratively but literally. It lifts my heart and my spirit by appealing to my imagination and sense of wonder. What more can a grateful reader ask.

Wunder im Kleinen entdecken
Die Gedichte von Mary Oliver in diesem Band sind wunderschön, sehr naturverbunden und berühren das Herz auf eine sanfte Weise. Ich lese die Gedichte gern morgens, da sie entspannen, anregen und inspirieren. Als Nicht-Englische Muttersprachlerin, die sehr gern auf Englisch liest, musste ich doch viele Worte nachschlagen, da sie mir völlig unbekannt waren - insb. Tier- und Pflanzenarten. Dafür konnte ich nicht nur die Dichtkunst genießen, sondern auch jeden Morgen etwas Neues lernen. Wer gerne Wunder im Kleinen entdeckt, könnte sich für dieses Band begeistern!

It arrived earlier than expected
The book arrived in perfect condition, it is an excellent purchase, but I would personally try to protect it more so that it reaches its destination.
