About Red Bird by Mary Oliver
Published by Beacon Press in 2008, Red Bird is a collection of sixty-one poems by Mary Oliver. Its natural world is observed with the attentiveness and gratitude characteristic of her poetry, while the collection also turns toward love, spiritual life, and the poet’s bond with her dog, Percy.
The collection includes a cycle of eleven linked love poems and addresses the degradation of the Earth and the denigration of people by those who seek power. Readers interested in American poetry, nature writing, and poems that bring together the earthly and the spiritual may find Red Bird especially rewarding.
