Mary Oliver evokes unforgettable images--from one hundred white-sided dolphins on a summer day to bees that have memorized every stalk and leaf in a field--even as she reminds us, after Emerson, that \"the invisible and imponderable is the sole fact.\"What was most wonderful?The sea, and its wide shoulders;the sea and its triangles;the sea lying back on its long athlete's spine.What did you think was happening?The green breast of the hummingbird;the eye of the pond;the wet face of the lily;the bright, puckered knee of the broken oak;the red tulip of the fox's mouth;the up-swing, the down-pour, the frayed sleeve of the first snow--so the gods shake us from our sleep.--from \"Gratitude\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"What Do We Know: Poems | Mary Oliver | Hardcover | 9780306809941 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks R 1787119","offer_id":50854940934402,"sku":"1787119","price":26.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91qsDn1ir_L.jpg?v=1792794572","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/what-do-we-know-poems","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
