Pulitzer Prize winner Mary Oliver celebrates the beauty of nature in a collection that is being published in the United Kingdom for the first time, alongside selected older works. Perhaps our world will someday be kinder. Perhaps the desire to create something beautiful is the piece of God that resides in each of us. In this impressive collection, Mary Oliver returns to the images that have shaped her life's work. Herons, sparrows, owls, and kingfishers soar across the pages in meditations on love, craftsmanship, and transience. Whether she is contemplating a bird's nest, the apparent patience of oaks, or the paintings of Franz Marc, Mary Oliver reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained in the smallest moments. Blue Horses asks what it truly means to belong to this world and to live in harmony with all its changes. 'To be human,' she shows us, 'means to sing your own song.'.
