Book review:

A Thousand Mornings

 

by Mary Oliver (1935-2019)

New York, The Penguin Press, 2012

82 pages

 

If you know nothing about Mary Oliver, this book is as good as any to make your acquaintance.

The poems in A Thousand Mornings are recognizable Mary Oliver stuff:

 

“…which thought made me feel

for a little while

quite beautiful myself.” (“Poem of the one world”)

 

“I hardly move though really I’m traveling

a terrific distance.

Stillness. One of the doors

into the temple.” (“Today”)

 

This is a slim volume, a light collection.

You can read it in one sitting if you want to.

You just might want to.
