Felicity

by Mary Oliver

Oliver's collection of love poems written in her late seventies, about her partner, about the world, about allowing joy. Brief and tender.

Read it if…

you want Oliver on love rather than nature.

Skip it if…

you want her nature poems; see Devotions.

Try instead: Gitanjali →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Love is allowed, late.
  2. Joy is a choice of attention.
  3. Keep it simple.

Do this first

Read 'Don't Worry' and 'The Gift'.

Our verdict

Tender late love poems.
