Felicity: Poems

<i>Mary Oliver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, celebrates love in her new collection of poems  </i><br /> <p>“If I have any secret stash of poems, anywhere, it might be about love, not anger,” Mary Oliver once said in an interview. Finally, in her stunning new collection, <i>Felicity</i>, we can immerse ourselves in Oliver’s love poems. Here, great happiness abounds. <br /> </p><p>Our most delicate chronicler of physical landscape, Oliver has described her work as loving the world. With <i>Felicity </i>she examines what it means to love another person. She opens our eyes again to the territory within our own hearts; to the wild and to the quiet. In these poems, she describes—with joy—the strangeness and wonder of human connection. <br /> </p><p>As in <i>Blue Horses</i>, <i>Dog Songs</i>, and <i>A Thousand Mornings</i>, with <i>Felicity </i>Oliver honors love, life, and beauty. </p><p></p>
