Description
In this profound collection, Mary Oliver navigates the complex landscape of grief following the loss of her longtime partner, seeking spiritual growth through sorrow rather than its end. For the first time, Oliver also explores her newfound faith, weaving it seamlessly with her enduring love for the natural world. These forty-three new poems offer a consoling and intense interaction with nature, where the trees whisper lessons and the poet finds kinship with the wild. Oliver's signature style, deeply attuned to the physical world, is now infused with a powerful exploration of love, loss, and spiritual discovery.
