In this beautifully produced compact disc, Mary Oliver has recorded forty of her favorite poems, nearly spanning the length of her career, from Dream Workthrough her newest volume, New and Selected Poems, Volume Two.The package is shrink-wrapped so that the elegant clothbound audiobook can takes its place on the poetry shelf.
