“In Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver, one of our most beloved writers offers both the best of her work and a spiritual road map of sorts … more than 50 years and featuring more than 200 poems, the collection shows Oliver, in the early years, turning away from grief and finding in nature a ‘vast, incredible gift.’ Over time, as she carefully observes and records, Oliver extols the beauty and complexity around her and reminds us of the interconnectedness of living … 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.”
