Now I know it is not merely broken up prose or rhyming lines. Now I know a poem is something that shines light on the soul, bringing out all the light and dark that resides there. Now I have a favorite poet: thank you, Mary Oliver. I originally checked this small collection out from my local library, having no idea what to expect. Someone had recommended this poet to me the week before. From the first poem on, I was entranced. After (very) reluctantly returning the collection to the library, I now own a much larger collection: [b:New and Selected Poems, Volume One|71642|New and Selected Poems, Volume One|Mary Oliver|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388978549l/71642._SY75_.jpg|69377]. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Mary Oliver is one of my very favorite poets. Her work is beautiful and I love the way she paints pictures of the natural world with words. Reading her poetry always leaves me in a state of content reflection.
House of Light is a collection of poems largely centered around the theme of animals, though other elements of nature are represented as well. This volume includes her poem, “The Summer Day,” which features perhaps her most famous line of poetry:
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
I have read other Mary Oliver collections that I loved more than this one (hence the four stars rather than five), but I did thoroughly enjoy reading it and would recommend it to other readers. ( )
