Item Number: 133719

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1999.

First edition of this selection of essays, prose and poems. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by Mary Oliver on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Stephen Cooley. Jacket illustration titled ‘The Don Juan’ redrawn from a sketch by E. E. Williams in his journal.

With the grace and precision that have won her legions of admirers, Oliver talks here of turtle eggs and housebuilding, of her surprise at the sudden powerful flight of swans, and of the "thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else."
