Reviews
"Far beneath the surface-flash of linguistic effect, Mary Oliver works her quiet and mysterious spell. It is a true spell, unlike any other poet's, the enchantment of the true maker."-- James Dickey, "Mary Oliver's poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations. American Primitive enchants me with the purity of its lyric voice, the loving freshness of its perceptions, and the singular glow of a spiritual life brightening the pages"-- Stanley Kunitz, "These poems are natural growths out of a loam of perception and feeling, and instinctive skill with language makes them seem effortless. Reading them is a sensual delight."-- May Swenson

This was shipped in three days but had an obvious three inch rip in the cover. It was advertised as like new or mint condition. I don’t care as I just want to read it and pass it on,. Positive transaction on my part . Thank you,

    Came in on time and was in same condition as described.

    I bought the book because I needed it for a class. Turns out that it didn't show up on the syllabus and not I don't need it. Looks like I have a book to read in my spare time.
