The reviews of this book tell me that Mary Oliver writes in these pages as if she has had an encounter with the Divine. Oliver is one of my all time favorite poets. Her poem Peonies is near the top of my list. She is attune to nature in such a delicious way. This book of poems is not surprise but what is - is the spiritual nature, namely Christian nature of this book - her spirituality is not in a general no name sense. With her delicate sensiblities toward the world of nature coupled with her appreciate for the God who gave us this nature, this book is nothing short of a long, sweet, deep breath. Werner - thanks so much for pointing this book out to me. I'm on my second time through - rereading-
of particular note if you pick this book up for only a few poems be sure to read - Swimming with the Otter (very Annie Dillardish) - Mozart, for example - Making the House Ready for the Lord - The Winter Wood Arrives - After Her Death - What I said at Her Service - Praying - The Uses of Sorrow - and On Thy Wonderous Works I Will Meditate (Psalm 145)
"Oh Lord of melons, of mercy, though I am
not ready, nor worthy, I am climbing toward you."
