Devotions

A New York Times Bestseller, chosen as Oprah’s ‘Books That Help Me Through’ for Oprah’s Book Club

‘No matter where one starts reading, Devotions offers much to love, from Oliver’s exuberant dog poems to selections from the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Primitive, and Dream Work, one of her exceptional collections. Perhaps more important, the luminous writing provides respite from our crazy world and demonstrates how mindfulness can define and transform a life, moment by moment, poem by poem’ The Washington Post

‘It’s as if the poet herself has sidled beside the reader and pointed us to the poems she considers most worthy of deep consideration’ Chicago Tribune

Throughout her celebrated career, Mary Oliver touched countless readers with her brilliantly crafted verse, expounding on her love for the physical world and the powerful bonds between all living things.
