“If I have any secret stash of poems, anywhere, it might be about love, not anger,” Mary Oliver

Mary Oliver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, celebrates love in her new collection of poems: What it means to love another person.

She opens our eyes to the territory within our own hearts; to the wild and the quiet. In these poems, she describes the strangeness and wonder of human connection.

With Felicity Oliver honors love, life, and beauty.
