From the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winning poet Mary Oliver, a collection of evocative and haunting poetry and prose

"Oliver's poems are...as genuine, moving and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring." —New York Times

In her first collection since winning the National Book Award, Mary Oliver writes of the silky bonds between every person and the natural world, of the delight of writing, of the value of silence.

The collection features the fourteen-part poem "In the Blackwater Woods," as well as "At the Lake" and the prose poem "Snail."
