Summary

Mary Oliver has published fifteen volumes of poetry and five books of prose in the span of four decades, but she rarely performs her poetry in live readings. Now, with the arrival of At Blackwater Pond, Mary Oliver has given her audience what they've longed to hear: the poet's voice reading her own work. In this beautifully produced audiobook, Mary Oliver has recorded forty of her favorite poems, nearly spanning the length of her career, from Dream Work through her newest volume, New and Selected Poems, Volume Two.

Mary Olivers voice

Utterly dreamlike and calming but also made me think about the natural world and to try and look at things differently. Just beautiful. Thankyou Mary Oliver.

beautiful poet

Came late to her. Well worth the delay. So moving and human. Unique yet universal
