About This Item
Boston: Beacon Press. Very Good. 2006. PAPERBACK; 876543pt line. paperback. 6x8". VERY GOOD Condition, Nice, clean, solid copy. PAPERBACK; white titles on brown spine strip...cover photo shows long striaght highway.. ; 66+pg pages; forty-three new poems from the Pulitzer Prize-winner Mary Oliver, introduces two new directions in the poet's work. Grappling with grief at the death of her beloved partner of over forty years, she strives to experience sorrow as a path to spiritual progress, grief as part of loving and not its end. And within these pages she chronicles for the first time her discovery of faith, without abandoning the love of the physical world that has been a hallmark of her work for four decades. In three stunning long poems, Oliver explores the dimensions and tests the parameters of religious doctrine, asking of being good, for example, "To what purpose? / Hope of Heaven? Not that. But to enter / the other kingdom: grace, and imagination, / and the multiple sympathies: to be as a leaf, a rose,/ a dolphin." .
