About this audiobook
Mary Oliver has published fifteen volumes of poetry and five books of prose in the span of four decades, but she rarely performs her poetry in live readings. Now, with the arrival of At Blackwater Pond, Mary Oliver has given her audience what they’ve longed to hear: the poet’s voice reading her own work. In this beautifully produced audiobook, Mary Oliver has recorded forty of her favorite poems, nearly spanning the length of her career, from Dream Work through her newest volume, New and Selected Poems, Volume Two.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Perfect for the car, or the pool, or running early in the morning (my favorite). Beautiful poems. Worthy of memorization. Several Oliver highlights here: "Her Grave", "Some Herons", "The Kingfisher", "When Death Comes", "At Blackwater Pond", the list goes on. Oliver's reading is melodic, gives the language it's money's worth. Although I've been a fan for quite some time, in my reading I'd over looked several of these poems. Hearing them out loud brings them to life. I've been listening to these poems early in the morning while I run. Lately I've found myself "singing along" with Mary. Soulful, haunting poems: Oliver is a poet to be studied and emulated and loved.
