The Leaf and the Cloud -- Mary Oliver

With piercing clarity and craftsmanship, Mary Oliver has fashioned an unforgettable poem of questioning and discovery, about what is observable and what is not, about what passes and what persists. As Stanley Kunitz has said: Mary Oliver's poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Mary Oliver<br><b>Publisher:</b> Da Capo Press<br><b>Published:</b> 10/17/2001<br><b>Pages:</b> 72<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 7.10w x 0.23d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780306810732<br><b>Award:</b> Massachusetts Book Award (MassBook) - Honor Book<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Kliatt</i> 09/01/2002 pg. 31<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Mary Oliver</b> is the author of twenty books, including <i>The Leaf and the Cloud</i> and <i>What Do We Know</i>.
