Spanning more than 50 years and featuring more than 200 poems, the collection shows Oliver, in the early years, turning away from grief and finding in nature a vast, incredible gift. Over time, as she carefully observes and records, Oliver extols the beauty and complexity around her and reminds us of the interconnectedness of living. She also asks important questions, such as have you ever dared to be happy\/ ... have you ever dared to pray, and Tell me, what it is you plan to do\/ with your one wild and precious life? Those lines resonate as much today as when she first penned them decades ago. No matter where one starts reading, Devotions offers much to love, from Oliver's exuberant dog poems to selections from the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Primitive, and Dream Work, one of her exceptional collections.

In “The Tell Tale Heart,” a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Cask of Amontillado” explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate.

Now, in her late seventies, twice-widowed and alone, Hannah sorts through her memories: of her childhood, of young love and loss, of raising children and the changing seasons. She turns her plain gaze to a community facing its long deterioration, where, she says, \"We feel the old fabric torn, pulling apart, and we know how much we have loved each other.\" Hannah offers her summation: her stories and her gratitude, for the membership in Port William, and for her whole life, a part of the great continuum of love and memory, grief and strength.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Wendell Berry\" href=\"https:\/\/naturenurture.shop\/collections\/wendell-berry\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWendell Berry\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of fifty books of poetry, fiction, and essays.
