 Oliver is always amazing , 2009-01-02
I am a devoted fan of Mary Oliver's work, and enjoyed this volume as I have enjoyed most of her works. However, as another reviewer pointed out, this book is a softer, gentler peice, and may not be what some are looking for from Oliver. This is the sort of poetry I read when I am in a tranquil, open state of mind, not really needing a poigent experience, but rather to drift as it were in a quiet state. It's not one of her absolute best, but it's very, very good.

Mary Oliver poems, 2008-09-29
I am so glad to have found Mary Oliver. I love her intimate relationship with nature. Her poetry makes me feel close to her, to nature, and to life in general. I benefit by her observations and insight.

Nature Poetry at its Best, 2008-05-25
I have already shared this book at my Book Club, at a women's retreat, and with friends. What a joy to read.

Read this and you love the mornings, 2008-03-06
I really don't know much about poetry, except that I like that it seems to be less fettered by rules. I like it for its rhythms and possibility and for its hope. A friend showed me a poem of Mary Oliver's this spring, This Morning I Watched the Deer, and I thought more people will read poetry if they are shown this poem.

why I wake early by mary oliver, 2008-01-23
this book is so lovely I only wish I had the means to give as a gift to all my most cherished friends. Mary Oliver has certainly given it to us. I lived 7 years in Provincetown, read clips in the newspaper and NEVER knew she also lived there...somewhere, tucked into a niche of beauty. Ms. Charley Stites
