Description
Mary Oliver's West Wind Poems and Prose Poems is a collection of forty poems, including nineteen previously unpublished works. The poems explore themes of nature and love, revealing how they transform over time while remaining constant.
The poet's words evoke the beauty of everyday moments: a summer day, a lover's quarrel, the golden eagle in flight. Her poems distill what it means to be human and what is worthwhile about life from the chaos of the world.
