Play Video Mary Oliver's *Devotions* is a breathtaking collection that distills the essence of her life's work into one volume. The anthology brings together over 200 poems, offering a profound exploration of nature, spirituality, and the human experience. Oliver's language is both simple and profound, with each poem inviting the reader to pause and reflect on the beauty and mystery of the world around us. Her observations are sharp yet gentle, capturing the sacred in the everyday. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her work, *Devotions* is a treasure trove that provides comfort, inspiration, and a deep sense of connection to the natural world. It's the kind of book you'll return to again and again, finding new layers of meaning with each read.

Re-discovering Mary Oliver and so glad I did. Her words are a treasure and so inspiring. She is also refreshingly honest and funny. This book is so well worth it!

This is a collection of Mary Oliver's poems. They are beautiful. It makes me want to go into the woods, or to the beach, or anything outside in nature.

A breathtaking collection that invites readers into Mary Oliver's world of nature, introspection, and profound beauty. Each poem feels like a gentle nudge to pause, breathe, and truly observe the world around us. This book is perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature or seeking solace in the written word. If you’re a fan of poetry or just in need of a little inspiration, I highly recommend picking up this collection. It’s a treasure that I’ll cherish for years to come.

Other than having to clean greasy fingerprints off dust jackets and fore edge the overall purchase went well.

Die Gedichte von Mary Oliver in diesem Band sind wunderschön, sehr naturverbunden und berühren das Herz auf eine sanfte Weise. Ich lese die Gedichte gern morgens, da sie entspannen, anregen und inspirieren. Als Nicht-Englische Muttersprachlerin, die sehr gern auf Englisch liest, musste ich doch viele Worte nachschlagen, da sie mir völlig unbekannt waren - insb. Tier- und Pflanzenarten. Dafür konnte ich nicht nur die Dichtkunst genießen, sondern auch jeden Morgen etwas Neues lernen. Wer gerne Wunder im Kleinen entdeckt, könnte sich für dieses Band begeistern!

La poésie de Mary Oliver est un baume pour le coeur. Un hommage sans pareil à la nature, au Vivant, au monde animal, à la beauté fragile et éphémère du monde dans lequel nous vivons. Sa simplicité n'enlève rien à sa profondeur, bien au contraire, elle la sublime. Je suis ravie d'avoir ce recueil de ses plus beaux poèmes en ma possession. Il est merveilleux. Je n'arrive pas à croire qu'aucune maison d'édition francophone ne se soit attelée à la tradution des recueils de poésie de Mary Oliver pour les publier en version papier (on trouve quelques traductions libres de certains poèmes en ligne, heureusement). Mary Oliver est un monument de la poésie anglophone, prix Pulitzer de poésie 1984, vivement qu'elle soit accessibles aux francophones également pour ceux qui ne peuvent pas la lire en version originale. Il est toujours mieux de pouvoir lire un auteur, surtout de poésie, dans sa version originale. Mais au-delà de la poésie, les écrits de Mary Oliver diffusent une vision du monde, une sensibilité à la vie, à la nature, à la beauté, dont nous avons incroyablement besoin en ces temps troublés et sur-industrialisés. À mes yeux, un recueil d'utilité public, un manuel de savoir-vivre et d'observer poétiquement le monde.
