For the many admirers of Mary Oliver’s breathtaking poetry of touch and transcendence, as well as for those coming to her words for the first time, ‘Little Alleluias’ is a revelation. These works observe, search, pause, astonish, and give thanks to both love and the natural world. In constant conversation with the sublime, Oliver has the rare skill of rendering existence: her poems bring movement to stillness, and people to the Earth, themselves, and each other. Her essays declare her heart and her home, too, alongside thoughts on Wordsworth, Emerson, and Hawthorne – the odes and elegies of Provincetown’s resident poet.
