Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of my favorite poets
Review: I have been waiting so long for new poems from Mary Oliver...and it was worth the wait. These are just as beautiful as the poems in White Pine, Twelve Moons, etc. I especially prize the way Oliver finds lessons about love and life from her observations of nature. Check it out, you won't be disappointed

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mary Oliver is a spiritual teacher as well as a poet.
Review: I have treasured Mary Oliver's poetry for a number of years. This new collection, West Wind, is both a departure and a development from her earlier work. Nature is her muse, and she still uses nature's events as metaphors for spiritual awareness and growth - what's new is looser, more varied poetic forms and a playfulness coupled with "death" as a recurring theme. Mary, at 60-plus, is facing mortality. As a reader, she can take me anywhere and I'm more than willing to go - even into death. She is not only my favorite poet, but my most important spiritual teacher as well. This book has a place in everyone's poetry and/or dharma collection.
