Devotions
From the Mother Tongue Spells & Invocation collection.
Nominated by Experience Designer & Founder of the Design for Feelings studio Olivia Vagelos |
"A thousand invitations to remember that the smallest, quietest moments can have the strongest gravity, and that the beauty of life is far simpler and more tender than the empire wants us to believe." |
Carefully curated, these poems feature Oliver's work from her very first book of poetry, No Voyage and Other Poems, published in 1963 at the age of 28, through her most recent collection, Felicity, published in 2015. This timeless volume, arranged by Oliver herself, showcases the beloved poet at her edifying best. Within these pages, she provides us with an extraordinary and invaluable collection of her passionate, perceptive, and much-treasured observations of the natural world.
