A Thousand Mornings: Poems Kindle Edition

I have never purchased a book of poetry before. I am in love with these poems. It is heartbreaking to know that this volume is so short, and that it will most likely be over in a sitting or two; however, as I read these poems, it feels like an introduction to a friendship that I will visit again and again and again as time passes. These poems are contemporary, profound, and personal. This book will teach you about life; this book will teach you about who you are; this book will teach you how to be a better you. Buy it now. You won't regret it.

Daily read! One not enough. Usually 3-4. I love her thoughts and poems. She will be greatly missed!

Mary Oliver's thoughts reveal a deep respect and awe for the marvelous ness in natural things. Inspiring and provoking intense feeling.

This book is super threadbare and skinny/small to begin with - but I've bought poetry books like that before. What I find absolutely ridiculous is that it says there are 96 pages; in actual numbered pages there are only 77...and of those 26 are blank!!! That's not even counting the ones that have writing on 1/3 of the page. So at best you're getting 50 pages of writing. Thanks but no thanks; might as well just printout the poems I like from the internet. Waste of money and totally inaccurate description; sending them back!

This was my introduction into the writings of Mary Oliver. I heard many of the messages in my own voice as if I had lived the life of the poet. If you are touched by nature, you will be touched by these verses.

In search of beauty in the small placesof a day that is scrubbed raw by Breaking Newsand a thousand reasons to despair...These...are slow you down... open youreyes... take a breath... now! what did you find.

Oliver - Simple and profound. Good book for daily meditation. I find Mary Oliver's poems immediately accessible and yet they also provide food for thought.

While I couldn’t warm to most of the poetry in this little book, there were a couple that were ok. Somewhat lackluster and..yawn. Maybe because I just finished Love Her Wild which was fun to read.

I haven't yet got far into this book but what a treasure, such connections. If I wake in the middle of the night, I read one of these pieces and am soothed back to sleep pondering it.

Often funny, always thought provoking. I don't read much poetry but I am very glad to have found out about Mary Oliver. She died recently but her voice can still be heard.

For the days you want to get lost in the woods and talk to the trees.

I loved this book by Mary Oliver. I read one poem each morning as part of my prayer. Almost all of the poems spoke to me. The longer I spent with them the more they reached some deep place within me and helped me to to be present, alert and aware of the wonder of nature

A wondrous selection of honest and heart-felt observations about our relationship to the things we love, be it our environment, our pets, or our life.
