A review by antennaclasses
Dream Work by Mary Oliver

5.0

I read Devotions prior to this, so I was initially expecting something very pleasant and occasionally provoking but nothing super cutting. What I got was actually a much more varied and angry and stark collection than I had expected. The various modes this book adopts fill out her visionary and poetic scope in such surprising ways to me—even as her poetry remains very readable and digestible—and I am so glad I finally got to read an actual collection from her.
