Thirst

More about the book

Exploring themes of grief and spiritual growth, this collection features forty-three new poems by Pulitzer Prize-winner Mary Oliver. In the wake of her partner's death, Oliver reflects on sorrow as a means of deepening love rather than an endpoint. Additionally, she shares her journey of discovering faith while maintaining her appreciation for the physical world, a signature element of her poetry for over forty years. This work marks a significant evolution in her artistic expression and personal exploration.
