Grappling with grief at the death of her beloved partner of over forty years, she strives to experience sorrow as a path to spiritual progress, grief as part of loving and not its end. And within these pages she chronicles for the first time her discovery of faith, without abandoning the love of the physical world that has been a hallmark of her work for four decades. In three stunning long poems, Oliver explores the dimensions and tests the parameters of religious doctrine, asking of being good, for example, \"To what purpose? \/ Hope of Heaven? Not that. But to enter \/ the other kingdom: grace, and imagination, \/ and the multiple sympathies: to be as a leaf, a rose, \/ a dolphin.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807068960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 6.54w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/28\/2006 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2006 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2007 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mary Oliver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166063657141,"sku":"9780807068960","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_20467aae-c219-41f8-a7ea-b52fa4b05ef6.jpg?v=1696919551","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thirst-poems-9780807068960","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
