White Pine: Poems and Prose Poems
Um þessa rafbók
“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.”
