"In her new collection we can immerse ourselves in Oliver's love poems. Here, great happiness abounds. A delicate chronicler of physical landscape, Oliver has described her work as loving the world. With Felicity she examines what it means to love another person. She opens our eyes again to the territory within our own hearts; to the wild and to the quiet. In these poems, she describes -- with joy -- the strangeness and wonder of human connection. As in Blue Horses, Dog Songs, and A Thousand Mornings, she honors love, life, and beauty. Mary Oliver was born in Ohio. Her fourth book, American Primitive, won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1984. Oliver currently lives in Florida"--Provided by publisher.
