Walking, watching and paying close attention are Mary Oliver's subjects in prose just as they are in her verse.
This collection of essays moves between the natural world she wrote about for decades and the practice of writing itself, with pieces on solitude, on reading earlier poets and on the discipline a creative life demands of anyone who takes it seriously. The tone stays unhurried and the pieces are short, so the book suits reading in single sittings or returning to a few pages at a time. This Penguin Books paperback runs to 192 pages.
For the curious reader:
• Short prose pieces on nature, attention and daily walking
• Essays on writing and on the poets she kept returning to
• A companion in prose to her poetry collections
• A 192-page Penguin Books paperback
For readers of nature writing, essays and literary memoir, published by Penguin Books and available at Boipoka.
