Mary Oliver - New and Selected Poems Volume One
I've been reading Mary Oliver's "New and Selected Poems" Volume One lately.
This was published in 1992 and contains several batches of poems:
New Poems - 1991-92 (30)
From the House of Light - 1990 (20)
From Dream Work - 1986 (18)
From American Primitive - 1983 (20)
From Twelve Moons - 1979 (17)
From The Night Traveler - 1978 and Sleeping in the Forest - 1978 (13)
From the River Styx, Ohio and Other Poems - 1972 (12)
From No Voyage and Other Poems (1963 and 1965)
I'm new to Mary Oliver's work but her poetry is very engaging. I'm in about 80 pages now and I'll have read one of the poems and realized when I'm done - it felt as if I've been in another world for those brief minutes. Descriptive, engrossing. Good stuff!
Mary Oliver passed away on 17 Jan 2019 at the age of 83
