Editorial Review:
Product Description:
“Mary Oliver continues to tutor us in attention, gratitude, and reverence in this new collection of forty-seven poems.”—Frederick and Mary Brussat, Spirituality and Health
Praise for Owls and Other Fantasies:
“Mary Oliver is beautiful and accurate in this book of poetry and prose about birds…all rendered with the precision of a line-drawing of a single feather that puts the entire wing into perspective.” —Orion
Praise for Mary Oliver’s poetry:
“These are life enhancing and redemptive poems that coax the sublime from the subliminal.” —Sally Connolly, Poetry
“Mary Oliver’s poems are natural growths out of a loam of perception and feeling, and instinctive skill with language makes them seem effortless. Reading them is a sensual delight.” —May Swenson
“The gift of Oliver's poetry is that she communicates the beauty she finds in the world and makes it unforgettable” —Miami Herald

This is not a review of Mary Oliver's work, which is spectacular. I am writing about how this appeared in my Kindle. Some of the pieces appear in extremely small print and I cannot adjust it with the font feature. I have had this problem in almost every other book of poetry by Mary Oliver that I have tried. I suggest that you try a sample before purchasing a book by this author. Maybe it is not a universal problem, but you might like to check the fonts before you buy.

I found that I really enjoyed about three or four of the poems. Otherwise it just wasn't right for me.

Mary Oliver has taken the everyday, simple beauty in Nature (which we oftentimes take for granted) and wraps it in simple, lovely prose in this delicious little book.
To be savored again and again.... definitely.

When I read Mary Oliver's poems I feel like I'm walking with her in the early morning light. Her reverance for nature and appreciation of God's gifts to humankind speak to me.

when inspiration fails, emphasis and repetition feel the void.
strengh needs no boasting.
true happiness is best implied - not proclaimed.
one senses Mary Oliver's old mastery
- alas waning in a forest of exclamation points...
