Having only come into the knowledge of Mary Olivers poetry over the past couple of years, I am awed by her style.

Book Review: My favorite Mary Oliver collection Summary: 5 Stars
"Thirst" is my favorite book of Mary Oliver's poems and prose. This contains some of her most overtly spiritual work. You can find a kindred spirit in her words. In addition to the title poem "Thirst," I especially loved "Making the House Ready for the Lord."
Book Review: Touching Summary: 5 Stars
I read lots of different material and am rarely touched as deeply as I have been while reading Mary Oliver's "Thirst." Her poems have moved me to prayer; for myself, my loved ones, this beautiful world and for the poet herself. Thank you.
Book Review: Excellent poetry Summary: 5 Stars
I so loved this collection of Mary Oliver's poetry. This is my first introduction to her work and I found it amazing. I was so moved by her poem, "When Roses Speak, I Pay Attention." I read it over and over to let it really sink in.
