This collection of sixty-one new poems, the most ever in a single volume of Olivers work, includes an entirely new direction for the poets work: a cycle of eleven linked love poemsa dazzling achievement. As in all of Mary Olivers work, the pages overflow with her keen observation of the natural world and her gratitude for its gifts, for the many people she has loved in her seventy years, as well as for her disobedient dog, Percy.
