{"product_id":"blue-iris-poems-and-essays","title":"Blue Iris: Poems and Essays","description":"For poet Mary Oliver, nature is full of mystery and miracle. From the excitation of birds in the sky to the flowers and plants that are \"the simple garments\" of the earth, the natural world is her text of both the earth's changes and its permanence.\n\nIn Blue Iris, Mary Oliver collects ten new poems, two dozen of her poems written over the last two decades, and two previously unpublished essays on the beauty and wonder of plants. The poet considers roses, of course, as well as poppies and peonies; lilies and morning glories; the thick-bodied black oak and the fragrant white pine; the tall sunflower and the slender bean.\n\nJames Dickey has said of her, \"Far beneath the surface-flash of linguistic effect, Mary Oliver works her quiet and mysterious spell. It is a true spell, unlike any other poet's, the enchantment of the true maker.\" In Blue Iris, she has captured with breathtaking clarity the true enchantment and mysterious spell of flowers and plants of all sorts and their magnetic hold on us.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0807068829\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0807068829.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Oliver, Mary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
