Blue Iris: Poems and Essays

As with all Mary Oliver's poetry, this is an inspiration.. a quietly meditative read, but uplifting and beautiful.

See review of Truro Bear. Love this.

My very first Mary Oliver poetry book and it is just breathtaking the way she describes nature I highly recommend it

Mary Oliver is quickly becoming one of my favorite poets because I’m finding her work so relatable. I ordered a copy of this book after first checking it out from my public library, because it’s the kind of collection I can see myself reading over and over. Similar to the style of Robert Frost, her poetry focuses on observations of nature and it’s relationship to the human psyche, while avoiding being too flowery or abstract to understand. I bought the hardback version and it’s a lovely book that would be a great gift for a nature lover.

Such a beautiful observer of the natural world!
