- Synopsis
- A perfect introduction to Mary Oliver&’s poetry, this stunning collection features 26 nature poems and prose writings about the birds that played such an important role in the Pulitzer Prize winner&’s life. Within these pages you will find hawks, hummingbirds, and herons; kingfishers, catbirds, and crows; swans, swallows and, of course, the snowy owl, among a dozen others-including ten poems that have never before been collected. She adds two beautifully crafted essays, &“Owls,&” selected for the Best American Essays series, and &“Bird,&” a new essay that will surely take its place among the classics of the genre.In the words of the poet Stanley Kunitz, &“Mary Oliver's poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations.&”For anyone who values poetry and essays, for anyone who cares about birds, Owls and Other Fantasies will be a treasured gift; for those who love both, it will be essential reading.This book was published with two different covers. Customers will be shipped the book with one of the available covers.
