In her latest collection, "Evidence", Mary Oliver delves even deeper than she has in the past into the mysteries of life, love and death. Her extraordinary poetry is nourished by her intimate knowledge and minute daily observation of the New England coast, its woods and ponds, its birds and animals, plants and trees. The winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, she has lived for many years on Cape Cod. Her luminous poetry celebrates nature and beauty, love and the spirit, silence and wonder, extending the visionary American tradition of Whitman, Emerson, Frost and Emily Dickinson. Mary Oliver is one of America's best-loved poets.
