In celebration of National Poetry Month in April, the Library of Congress presents a small, curated display devoted to Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning poet Mary Oliver (1935–2019). Oliver had a close affinity with the outdoors from childhood. Her work is deeply rooted in her keen observations of birds and other animals, plants, light, and waterways. During her lifetime, she published more than twenty-five books of essays and poetry.
