Media Reviews
"Mary Oliver's...special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations." -- Stanley Kunitz
"Ms. Oliver-whose hymns to the quiet life have won her the Pulitzer prize, the national Book Award and a devoted following-writes in these essays about the calm that she needs for creation: the long seaside walks, the hissing of owls, the silent assent of her dead mentors Whitman and Muir and Thoreau." -- Rose Kernochan
-- New York Times Book Review
"Not all poets write good prose, but Mary Oliver surely does. 'Blue Pastures' is an enchanting book." -- Richard Wilbur
-- Boston Review
