    About this ebook

    This poem was written after a peaceful walk on the beach. As I was walking I was mesmerized by the way the seagulls easily floated through the air once they lifted themselves off the ground with their powerful wings. These are my observations of the seagulls of the sky.

      Oct 18, 2017

      The first thing one notices about Devotions, a survey of Mary Oliver’s poems from more than five decades, is how big the book is – unusually so. At more than 400 pages, it registers palpably on the lap, a pleasant anchor through an autumn afternoon.
