The Howlips Family: One of the other reviewers was like "gave it four stars because one of her OTHER books was better." Can I get a facepalm? That's like saying "I give this Aston Martin Valkyrie 4 stars because I once drove a Lamborghini Sian." Oy vay. That being said, please do buy this book. Buy it and read it. Don't worry if you aren't "into" poetry much. Mary Oliver will take care of you. This is the perfect book for a nature lover, the perfect book for someone with a tender heart. This is a terrific book for someone who loves to read and also to camp and hike. This is a great book for tweens. Enjoy "Humpbacks" first but then read it from end to end. This is no four-star book.

ThePlushGourmet: The only one of the Oliver books I didn't have. Don't you make that mistake! Get it now. Simply the finest writing.
I got the paperback, and it is both sturdy and attractive. The usual high quality I have come to expect from her publisher. Five well-earned stars.

Becky: Mary Oliver's poetry deals with the every day life of us all expressing it in a way that we often have the words for. Her observation of nature and of emotions is amazing. I highly recommend this books.

Niki Kantzios: I adored this book, and Mary Oliver has become one of my favorite poets. She finds in nature so much more than just the physical and writes with such loving beauty--none of the angularity of so many contemporary poets--that these verses were like balm. Dealing with the landscape and the folk history of America, from Johnny Appleseed to Tecumseh, Oliver finds us a place where we're no longer ashamed to live.

Generic Nomenclature: This selection of Mary Oliver's poems is rich in imagery about nature and the way that her encounters with animal life provoke thoughts on life and meaning. You can step away from the news and read what Mary Oliver has gleaned through stillness and watching. We need more of this these days. It's a small book but that's fitting for her style of writing; sparse but able to say all that there is to say. I was prompted to buy this because of the poem 'In the pinewoods, crows and owl', which you can find online. If you connect with that poem, then this book is for you,
