About Thirst by Mary Oliver
Published in 2006, Thirst gathers 43 poems by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver. The collection addresses grief after the death of Oliver’s longtime partner, photographer Molly Malone Cook, and considers sorrow as part of love rather than its opposite.
These poems also mark Oliver’s exploration of faith and religious doctrine, while retaining her attention to the natural world. Three extended poems examine questions of goodness, grace, imagination, and spiritual life.
Readers interested in contemporary American poetry, nature writing, grief, or the meeting of spiritual inquiry and the physical world may find this collection especially rewarding.
