very interesting book of poetry
I bought this when a close friend of mine recommended it- she knew I was missing my mom while going through health complication which required another surgery only3 months free the first surgery. I know I will be re-reading this book for years to come… anytime I need some comforts
Excellent book of devotions & relates well to our current events. Highly recommend!
This book is a reorder, and likely will be ordered again. It took longer than usual to arrive(???)The book, “Devotions” is a work of real beauty.
Mary Oliver is a truly inspiring poet. Her descriptions of nature are absolutely stunning and moving. Once I read one of her poems, I knew I had to purchase a collection she wrote. She is a national treasure.
