Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver presents a personal selection of her best work in this definitive collection spanning more than five decades of her esteemed literary career.
"I love [Mary's] work. It's about nature and love and what it means to be human. . . . I find her poetry to be so cathartic and beautiful." -Jenna Bush Hager
"No matter where one starts reading, Devotions offers much to love." --The Washington Post
Throughout her celebrated career, Mary Oliver has touched countless readers with her brilliantly crafted verse, expounding on her love for the physical world and the powerful bonds between all living things. Identified as "far and away, this country's best selling poet" by Dwight Garner, she now returns with a stunning and definitive collection of her writing from the last fifty years.
Carefully curated, these 200 plus poems feature Oliver's work from her very first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other Poems, published in 1963 at the age of 28, through her most recent collection, Felicity, published in 2015. This timeless volume, arranged by Oliver herself, showcases the beloved poet at her edifying best. Within these pages, she provides us with an extraordinary and invaluable collection of her passionate, perceptive, and much-treasured observations of the natural world.

Malinda Lo is a YA author.
I bought this book last holiday season and decided to begin every day this year by reading a poem. It has been wonderful, and has led to very unexpected things in my life.
"A lullaby to my soul. It’s by my bedside, and whenever I need to be calmed, or I need to be put in a state of relaxation, or I want to feel a sense of appreciation, a connection to nature, a connection to the life force, I read Mary Oliver. It soothes me."
