Dog Songs

Autor Mary Oliver
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2015
The popularity of Dog Songs] feels as inevitable and welcome as a wagging tail upon homecoming. The Boston Globe
Mary Oliver s Dog Songs is a celebration of the special bond between human and dog, as understood through the poet s relationships to the canines that have accompanied her daily walks, warmed her home, and inspired her work. Oliver s poems begin in the small everyday moments familiar to all dog lovers, but through her extraordinary vision, these observations become higher meditations on the world and our place in it.
Dog Songs includes visits with old friends, like Oliver s beloved Percy, and introduces still others in poems of love and laughter, heartbreak and grief. Throughout, the many dogs of Oliver s life merge as fellow travelers and as guides, uniquely able to open our eyes to the lessons of the moment and the joys of nature and connection."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

The Storm (Bear)

Now through the white orchard my little dog
romps, breaking the new snow
with wild feet.
Running here running there, excited,
hardly able to stop, he leaps, he spins
until the white snow is written upon
in large, exuberant letters,
a long sentence, expressing
the pleasures of the body in this world.

Oh, I could not have said it better
myself.
