I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall- what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do. Whether studying the leaves of a tree or mourning her treasured dog Percy, Mary Oliver is beautifully open to the teachings contained within the smallest of moments. In A Thousand Mornings she explores, with startling clarity, humour and kindness, the mysteries of our daily experience. ‚Oliver’s poems are thoroughly convincing – as genuine, moving and implausible as the first caressing breeze of spring‘ New York Times Book Review ‚Mary Oliver teachers us the profound act of paying attention – a living wonder that makes it possible to appreciate the others‘ Boston Globe
