Why I Wake Early: New Poems - Mary Oliver

Mary Oliver continues to tutor us in attention, gratitude, and reverence in this new collection of 47 poems.--Frederick and Mary Ann Brussat, authors of Spirituality Legacy. The forty-seven new works in this volume include poems on crickets, toads, trout lilies, black snakes, goldenrod, bears, greeting the morning, watching the deer, and, finally, lingering in happiness. Each poem is imbued with the extraordinary perceptions of a poet who considers the everyday in our lives and the natural world around us and finds a multitude of reasons to wake early.
