Strand Notes
"Evidence" is a collection of forty-seven new poems on all of Mary Oliver's classic themes, inspired by the words of William Wordsworth. She writes perceptively on grief and mortality, love and nature, and the spiritual sustenance she draws from their gifts. Her newest volume is imbued through and through with that power of nature to, in Oliver's words, "excite the views toward sublime thought." From one of America's most loved and respected poets, this new volume plumbs the evidence of our most profound mysteries.
Description
Never afraid to shed the pretense of academic poetry, never shy of letting the power of an image lie in unadorned language, Mary Oliver offers us poems of arresting beauty that reflect on the power of love and the great gifts of the natural world. Inspired by the familiar lines from William Wordsworth, "To me the meanest flower that blows can give / Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears," she uncovers the evidence presented to us daily by nature, in rivers and stones, willows and field corn, the mockingbird's "embellishments," or the last hours of darkness.
