A Thousand Mornings: Poems
By Mary Oliver
Categories: Literature & Fiction
A Thousand Mornings is a collection of poems by Mary Oliver, published in 2012. In short lyrics, Oliver writes about walking near her home in Provincetown, the ocean, birds, trees and her dog Percy, and about attention, grief, age and gratitude. The poems are plain-spoken and often joyful, and they show her lifelong habit of finding wonder in the natural world and in ordinary days.
