A very good copy in wrappers printed brightly in red, white, yellow, and black on the front wrapper which also has the National Book Award Winner statement in a yellow circle. With two 2" wavy blue flair horizontal lines at the center of the front endpaper, below the title; otherwise, clean and tight throughout. With a black and white photo of Mary Oliver on the rear wrapper. An attractive copy, with a special signed presentation in black ink on the title page: "For Sally and Drew (22nd!) with good wishes to you, Mary Oliver, Oct. 15, 1999." Presentation copies are becoming quite scarce. Mary Oliver's poetry is grounded in memories ofOhioand her adopted home ofNew England, setting most of her poetry in and around Provincetown after she moved there in the 1960s.[4]Influenced by bothWhitmanandThoreau, she is known for her clear and poignant observances of the natural world. In fact, according to the 1983 Chronology of American Literature, the "American Primitive," one of Oliver's collection of poems, ".presents a new kind of Romanticism that refuses to acknowledge boundaries between nature and the observing self."[11]Her creativity was stirred by nature, and Oliver, an avid walker, often pursued inspiration on foot. Her poems are filled with imagery from her daily walks near her home:[6]shore birds, water snakes, the phases of the moon and humpback whales. InLong lifeshe says "[I] go off to my woods, my ponds, my sun-filled harbor, no more than a blue comma on the map of the world but, to me, the emblem of everything."[4]She commented in a rare interview "When things are going well, you know, the walk does not get rapid or get anywhere: I finally just stop, and write. That's a successful walk!" She said that she once found herself walking in the woods with no pen and later hid pencils in the trees so she would never be stuck in that place again.[4]She often carried a 3-by-5-inch hand-sewn notebook for recording impressions and phrases.[4]Maxine Kumincalled Oliver "a patroller of wetlands in the same way that Thoreau was an inspector of snowstorms."[12]Oliver stated that her favorite poets wereWalt Whitman,Rumi,Hafez,Ralph Waldo Emerson,Percy Bysshe ShelleyandJohn Keats.

First Edition Signed
First edition of this collection of poems by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. Octavo, original boards. Signed by Mary Oliver on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Mary Oliver was described by The New York Times as "far and away, [America's] best-selling poet." She has won both the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and the National Book Award in 1992. Oliver's poetry has been called an "indefatigable guide to the natural world, particularly to its lesser-known aspects" (Kumin, 1993). "Visionary as Emerson [ she is] among the few American poets who can describe and transmit ecstasy, while retaining a practical awareness of the world as one of predators and prey," reviewed The Nation. Holly Prado of Los Angeles Times Book Review noted that Oliver's work "touches a vitality in the familiar that invests it with a fresh intensity.".

First edition, signed limited issue, number 72 of 150 copies signed by the author and bound thus. Oliver won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984. The Harvard Review describing her as "a poet of wisdom and generosity whose vision allows us to look intimately at a world not of our making. The humbling effect of that perspective is her lasting gift to readers". This collection contains great poems such as "Song to Autumn", "Why I Wake Early", and "Little Dog's Rhapsody in the Night". Mary Oliver (1935-2019) won the Pulitzer prize in 1984 and the National Book Award in 1992. Primarily a poet of nature, she lived for most of her writing career in Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and has been compared to Emerson and Emily Dickinson. Her poetry is "an excellent antidote for the excesses of civilization, for too much hurry and inattention, and the baroque conventions of our social and professional lives. [She] is a poet of wisdom and generosity whose vision allows us to look intimately at a world not of our making. The humbling effect of that perspective is her lasting gift to readers" (Matson, p. 164). Suzanne Matson, "[Review of] New and Selected Poems by Mary Oliver", Harvard Review, No. 4, Spring 1993. Octavo. Original blue cloth, titles to spine in gilt. With the original blue cloth slipcase. A fine copy.
