    Dog Songs

    by Mary Oliver

    "My favorite poetry book. On the surface it is a collection of poems about dogs the author has known and loved, but it is so much more. An exploration of love and loss, what it means to be wild, and to be human. Uplifting and heart breaking. A beautiful celebration, of connection and the things that make a life whole."
