Devotions: A Read with Jenna Pick: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver

Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A READ WITH JENNA PICK • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Mary Oliver, a definitive and enduring collection of her best work “No matter where one starts reading, Devotions offers much to love. . . . 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 Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? —Mary Oliver, from “The Summer Day” 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. Arranged by Oliver herself shortly before her death in 2019, Devotions features Oliver’s work from her very first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other Poems, published in 1963 at the age of twenty-eight, through her last, Felicity, published in 2015. This timeless volume showcases the beloved poet at her edifying best. Within these pages, she provides us with an extraordinary and invaluable collection of her passionate, perceptive, and much-treasured observations of the natural world. Review: Beautiful Collection. - Beautiful collection of Mary Oliver’s work - great for reflections and an introduction overview. Review: No geral, vale a pena. - Na edição capa dura, a capa branca que aparece na ilustração da desertcart é a jacket - aquela sobrecapa de papel. Deixei a foto de como realmente é a capa do livro, a título de curiosidade. A edição tem folhas amareladas (o papel não é dos melhores) e a poesia da Mary Oliver é incrivelmente sensível. Uma mulher que enxergava a beleza e o milagre no simples nascer do sol. Entrega antes do prazo e em perfeito estado. Não é um luxo de edição para guardar, mas é a melhor opção para quem admira a autora.
