Devotions

This collection, curated by Mary Oliver herself, includes poems from her entire career, from her first book 'No Voyage and Other Poems' (1963) to her most recent collection 'Felicity' (2015).

The poems showcase Oliver's observations of the natural world, her spiritual reflections, and her exploration of themes such as happiness, prayer, and the preciousness of life.

The book is arranged in reverse chronological order and offers a spiritual road map through Oliver's work, highlighting her exuberant dog poems, selections from 'American Primitive,' and 'Dream Work,' among others.
