" 'All summer I made friends/with the creatures nearby....' Oliver's latest volume offers new and previously collected poems, as well as two essays, celebrating all manner of critters and the worlds they inhabit. From the small, the curious, and the commonly overlooked-grasshoppers, snow crickets, and whelks, for example-to the wild and intimidating, like coyotes, and, of course, the possibly mythical bear that haunts the Truro woods, the natural world is made more real and dangerous and, yet,
inexplicably inviting in these poems," says Library Journal.
