Reviews
"Her poems are wonderingly perceptive and strongly written, but beyond that they are a spirited, expressive meditation on the impossibili ties of what we call lives, and on the gratifications of change." Hayden Carruth
"Oliver's poems are thoroughly convincing as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring." The New York Times Book Review
"One of the astonishing aspects of [Oliver's] work is the consistency of tone over this long period. What changes is an increased focus on nature and an increased precision with language that has made her one of our very best poets. . . . These poems sustain us rather than divert us. Although few poets have fewer human beings in their poems than Mary Oliver, it is ironic that few poets also go so far to help us forward." Stephen Dobyns, The New York Times Book Review
