"Oliver's poems are thoroughly convincing--as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring."


 – The New York Times



Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Mary Oliver is known for her piercing clarity and attention to the craft of poetry. In this book-length poem, divided into seven sections, Oliver has fashioned an unforgettable poem of questioning and discovery. She explores both the seen and unseen as well as what passes and what persists.
