“Her compact poems are conversational and teasing, yet their taproots reach deeply into the aquifers of religion, philosophy, and literature . . . Oliver is funny and renegade as she protests cultural vapidity, greed, violence, and environmental decimation and ravishing in her close readings of nature.” —Booklist
“If you’re one of the many, many fans of National Book Award- and Pulitzer-winning poet Mary Oliver, you’ll very much welcome A Thousand Mornings.” —Shelf Awareness
