Mary OliverRare Appearance!
The number one selling poet in America, Mary Oliver has celebrated nature, intuition, and the beauty of observation in her acclaimed poems for nearly five decades. Her many volumes of poetry, including Blue Iris and the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Primitive, contain verses poised at the edge of uncertainty, surprise, and the extraordinary experience of the everyday. Her images, whether fish bones, lilies, snow, visions of death, or ruminations on light, rarely involve human subjects. Instead, Oliver draws her reader into her humanity with precision of language and awe for the natural world. Oliver’s most recent release, Thirst, a collection of 38 new poems, traces the writer's experience of grief and discovery of faith. This luminous evening of poetry and commentary will be followed by audience questions. Click here to purchase a series or create your own series Media Sponsor: KCRW 89.9FM |
