About Dream Work by Mary Oliver
Mary Oliver’s Dream Work gathers 45 poems that continue the perceptual attentiveness of American Primitive, following that earlier collection both chronologically and in their development. Here, the poems turn toward the difficult inner work of facing personal truths and understanding the gains and losses of human relationships.
History enters the collection through inherited trauma and present-day suffering, including poems about the Holocaust and an injured boy begging in Indonesia. Readers interested in American poetry, Oliver’s work, and poems that bring personal reflection into contact with the wider world will find a collection shaped by experience, self-awareness, and a chosen capacity for joy.
