Covering the last 11 years of her career, this new collection includes 40 new poems and poems hand selected by Ms. Oliver from six books. This book is being designed in conjunction with a re-designed New and Selected Poems, Volume One and each cover will feature the debut of a never before published photo of Mary Oliver.

Mary Oliver has been writing poetry for nearly five decades, and in that time she has become America's foremost poetic voice on our experience of and interaction with our physical surroundings. New and Selected Poems, Volume Two includes new poems on birds, toads, flowers, insects, bodies of water, and the extraordinary experience of the everyday in our lives. In the words of Alicia Ostriker, "Mary Oliver moves by instinct, faith, and determination. She is among our finest poets, and still growing." In both the older and new poems, Mary Oliver is a poet at the height of her control of image and language.

Industry Reviews

It has always seemed, across her 15 books of poetry, five of prose and several essays and chapbooks, that Mary Oliver might leave us at any minute. Even a 1984 Pulitzer Prize couldn't pin her to the ground. She'd change quietly into a heron or a bear and fly or walk on forever. --Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

Oliver's poetry is of the Earth, and about the Earth, and as these poems give voice to the planet, they render human life more beautiful, more sentient, more meaningful. --Karen McCarthy, ForeWord

These are life-enhancing and redemptive poems that coax the sublime from the subliminal. --Sally Connolly, Poetry

Mary's Oliver 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. --Stanley Kunitz

Oliver's poems are thoroughly convincing--as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring. --New York Times Book Review
