At Blackwater Pond

Autor: Mary Oliver

Número de Páginas: 13

One of the astonishing aspects of Oliver's work is the consistency of tone over this long period. What changes is an increased focus on nature and an increased precision with language that has made her one of our very best poets. --Stephen Dobyns, New York Times Book Review Mary Oliver has published fifteen volumes of poetry and five books of prose in the span of four decades, but she rarely performs her poetry in live readings. Now, with the arrival of At Blackwater Pond, Mary Oliver has given her audience what they've longed to hear: the poet's voice reading her own work. In this beautifully produced compact disc, Mary Oliver has recorded forty of her favorite poems, nearly spanning the length of her career, from Dream Work through her newest volume, New and Selected Poems, Volume Two. The package is shrink-wrapped so that the elegant clothbound audiobook can takes its place on the poetry shelf. It also includes a fifteen-page booklet with an original essay, "Performance Note," photos of the author at Blackwater Pond, and a full listing of the poems and their sources.

Inés Martín Rodrigo, El Periódico de España «Sus poemas son como pequeñas oraciones para sostener la angustia del vivir.[...] Como Oliver, también deseo que pase el tiempo, a ritmo lento, y seguir allí conmoviéndome en pequeños detalles». Sara Torres, El Periódico de España «Leer a Mary Oliver es encontrar un lugar donde refugiarse, es un paseo al sol el primer día de Primavera, es sentirse menos sola, es nombrar lo innombrable con sencillez y esperanza».

House of Light

Autor: Mary Oliver

Número de Páginas: 97

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” —Mary Oliver “The Summer Day” (House of Light) Mary Oliver’s words guide us, with solace and empathy, across the rocky terrain of human existence. In House of Light, which was originally published in 1990, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet offers us an opportunity to transcend ordinary life into a realm of natural wonder. Oliver investigates themes on “how to love this world" and to live “as though time didn’t exist” in her poems “Spring” and “The Swan,” and she awakens within us a renewed sense of awe in “The Ponds”: “Still, what I want in my life / is to be willing / to be dazzled— / to cast aside the weight of facts // and maybe even / to float a little / above this difficult world.” As her words suspend time and space, Oliver encourages us to attune ourselves to the quiet moments of enlightenment that perforate each day. Meditative and soulful, the forty-six poems in this collection honor our collective threads of humanity and our never-ending quest for grace. “Oliver's poems are thoroughly convincing—as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing...

Felicity

Autor: Mary Oliver

Número de Páginas: 53

'And just like that, like a simple neighbourhood event, a miracle is taking place.' 'If I have any secret stash of poems, anywhere, it might be about love, not anger,' Mary Oliver once said in an interview. Finally, in Felicity, we can immerse ourselves in Oliver's love poems. Here, great happiness abounds. Our most delicate chronicler of physical landscape, Oliver has described her work as loving the world. With Felicity she examines what it means to love another person. She opens our eyes again to the territory within our own hearts; to the wild and to the quiet. In these poems, she describes - with joy - the strangeness and wonder of human connection.
