A Thousand Mornings: Poems
The world doesn’t ask much. Just that you pay attention. These poems are a gentle call to notice, to listen, and to greet the day with wonder.
In this beloved poetry collection, Mary Oliver invites readers into the stillness and sacredness of everyday life. Whether observing a heron, a dog, or the hush of dawn, she captures the profound in the ordinary.
These poems are grounded in the natural world but reach inward toward gratitude, grace, and clarity. With simple language and quiet wisdom, Oliver reminds us that each morning holds a choice: to observe, to listen, to be fully present.
