5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking clarity, sanity, and tender love of this world, 20 Oct 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: New and Selected Poems (Paperback)

Mary Oliver's poem "The Journey" came into my life when I was seriously ill and in desperate need of permission to rest. That poem became a talisman, a mentor, a voice ringing with sanity. I have shared it with many, many people over the last 10 years.... I've yet to encounter another poet whose voice is as pure, clear, lucid, and present. Mary's poems combine all the wonder of early childhood with the exquisite vision and discernment of someone who deeply, minutely, wildly loves Creation. Her poems are blessings, nothing less.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have volume of poetry, 20 Jul 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: New and Selected Poems (Paperback)

With a Pulitzer and a National Book Award, Mary Oliver's poems will catch one's attention. But besides the kudos, this is plainly incredible writing. Her poetry comes closer to the sensibility, depth, and power of Emily Dickinson's writing than anyone in history. Yet Oliver is not a copycat version of the lady in white. Oliver's Nature has its very own stylistic plumes and claws. In a world of mainstream and so-what poetry, Oliver's insights continually cause me to catch my breath and say, Oh, yes. If you love poetry, if you occasionally collect a special volume, or if you're a novice poetry reader who doesn't want to get lost in the "wherefor's" and wails of pompous or confessional poetry, this is a book to own and love again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars very special, 18 Dec 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: New and Selected Poems (Paperback)

In Mary Oliver's poems, there are no unnecessary words. One can follow her point, yet there is complexity and a deep, spiritual base. Rich with detail, yet one recognizes where she takes you. It is her awesome talent at observing her world and writing about it that makes these poems feel so effortless. Oh, if only more had this much talent.
