description: In this stunning collection of new poems Mary Oliver returns to the imagery that has defined her lifes work describing with wonder both the everyday and the unaffected beauty of nature.Herons sparrows owls and kingfishers flit across the page in meditations on love artistry and impermanence. Whether considering a birds nest the seeming patience of oak trees or the artworks of Franz Marc Oliver reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained within the smallest moments.At its heart Blue Horses asks what it means to truly belong to this world to live in it attuned to all its changes. Humorous gentle and always honest Oliver is a visionary of the natural world.
