Critics Review
Praise for Mary Oliver
“A great poet….She is amazed but not blinded.”–Boston Globe
“A master of spare and evocative imagery.”–Poetry

“Oliver’s poems are thoroughly convincing as genuine, moving, and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring.”–The New York Times
“The gift of Oliver’s poetry is that she communicates the beauty she finds in the world and makes is unforgettable.”–Miami Herald
“What good company Mary Oliver is!”–Los Angeles Times
“Who wouldn’t want to be part of Mary Oliver’s world?”–Appalachian Review
