White Pine: Poems and Prose Poems

Mary Oliver is one of the most popular and widely honored poets in the United States. In this much-awaited collection of forty poems – eighteen previously unpublished – she writes of the silky bonds between every person and the natural world, of the delight of writing, of the value of silence. Says James Dickey, “Mary Oliver works . . . a true spell, unlike any other poet’s, the enchantment of the true maker.”
