Publisher Comments

In this stunning collection of new poems, Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has defined her life's work, describing with wonder both the everyday and the unaffected beauty of nature.

Herons, sparrows, owls, and kingfishers flit across the page in meditations on love, artistry, and impermanence. Whether considering a birds nest, the seeming patience of oak trees, or the artworks of Franz Marc, Oliver reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained within the smallest moments.

At its heart, Blue Horses asks what it means to truly belong to this world, to live in it attuned to all its changes. Humorous, gentle, and always honest, Oliver is a visionary of the natural world.

Review

“A lyric collection to be treasured.” The New York Journal of Books

At this time I have not read the volume as it is not available yet for sale. I do very much admire her previous work and am pleasantly happy that she has chosen Franz Marc's painting, ' Die grossen blauen Pferde,' as the cover and title. Thank You for consideration for a copy of her work. Tim Ward
