New and Selected Poems, Volume One by Mary Oliver

5.0

Oh, man. I had a journey with this book. I read it in tiny sections over the course of a year. I love it so much. Mary Oliver's poetry is the most soul-soothing thing, I swear. I almost cried upon finishing it, and I'm very happy there is a volume two. Even the arrangement of the poems is really spectacular. This is probably my favorite book of poetry that I've ever read - maybe tied with Songs From Under the River. It's also extremely accessible for someone just getting into poetry. Loved everything about it.
