Title: No voyage, and other poems
Description: Mary Oliver is a young American whose first book of poetry appeared in England in 1962. The present edition contains nineteen new poems in addition to the original volume. The title poem was the winner of the first prize of the Poetry Society in America in 1962; many of the others have appeared in periodicals both here and in England. Whether Mary Oliver is writing about the Ohio country of her childhood or the London house where she lived; whether she is describing the wild creatures that live "on winter's margin" or the loneliness of children dreaming of "impossible deeds," her spirit is one of passionate affirmation"--
