White Pine: Poems and Prose Poems - Mary Oliver

In her first collection since the National Book Award-winning New and Selected Poems, Oliver writes of the silky bonds between every person and the natural world, of the delight of writing, of the value of silence. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations.--Stanley Kunitz. nIn her first collection since winning the National Book Award in 1993, Mary Oliver writes of the silky bonds between every person and the natural world, of the delight of writing, of the value of silence. Her] poems are...as genuine, moving and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring (New York Times). n
