Description

Mary Oliver's poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. For those who admire her work and for newcomers alike, What Do We Know offers a profound exploration of the natural world. These forty poems capture the essence of existence, from the fleeting moments of summer days to the intricate patterns of life in a field. Oliver's poetry evokes unforgettable images - a summer day with one hundred white-sided dolphins, bees that have memorized every stalk and leaf in a field - while also reminding us that "the invisible and imponderable is the sole fact." This collection embodies her luminous vision, inviting readers to pause, search, and give thanks for the beauty around them. With its concise yet powerful language, What Do We Know is a revelation for anyone who has ever stopped to appreciate the world's unrepeatable moments.
