Two of my favorites from this collection: "Fall Song" and "Crossing the Swamp"

It's easy to see why Mary Oliver is a Pulitzer Prize winner. Her words on the simple pleasures of nature strike a beautiful, simplistic chord with the reader. The best poems aren't complex but rather simple. They point out what we already see around us. Mary Oliver just does this better than anyone

Oh, I was dazzled and delighted when this book won the Pulitzer; it is so rare for my favorites to do so. I love Mary Oliver's work, so sinewy and mystic, but with mud at the roots.
