A Thousand Mornings: Mary Oliver

Excellent Book of Poems

Beautifully written poetry

Mary Oliver is always worth reading. Her poems are finely in wrought and sensitively woven. A Thousand Mornings is not my favourite of her poetry collections. I go to Mary Oliver to become more present to the other-than-human world & this collection has much to say about the human experience. But, as ever, there are many beautiful, transcendent moments to be found here.

Mary Oliver's poetry is easy to read but profound and grounded in nature and everyday life. Highly recommend

Beautiful book of poetry.

I guess we've been spoilt by her earlier fantastic work, but these poems mainly repeat old themes without the light or depth of before.

I have known about Mary Oliver for a couple of decades but, despite buying heaps of poetry books, hadn't got round to her work until earlier this week. What a delight. She has that really rare skill of almost always just being on the right side of profound but not pretentious, spiritual but not mawkish, nature-loving but not blandly so. The result is a truly uplifting experience when reading and re-reading her poems. Their brevity and simplicity of language are fantastic and effective. I look forward to reading much more of her, and if her other volumes - prose as well as poetry - are anything like as good as this book, I'll buy everything she has published.

I thought it was a novel. It's a book of poems. There are some really beautiful poems in it, thought provoking... It is VERY enjoyable...

Great product

I love Mary Oliver poems, It's so beautiful in each word.

Book was liked by Child to whom presented.

Mary Oliver never disappoints.

I recently discovered Mary Oliver and her poems. This book is just beautiful. Poems are heartfelt and sometimes light. I would recommend this is one of the books she would buy to introduce yourself to her poems.
