'And just like that, like a simple
neighbourhood event, a miracle is
taking place.'
'If I have any secret stash of poems, anywhere, it might be about love, not anger,' Mary Oliver once said in an interview. Finally, in Felicity, we can immerse ourselves in Oliver's love poems. Here, great happiness abounds.
Our most delicate chronicler of physical landscape, Oliver has described her work as loving the world. With Felicity she examines what it means to love another person. She opens our eyes again to the territory within our own hearts; to the wild and to the quiet. In these poems, she describes - with joy - the strangeness and wonder of human connection.
A true bookworm, Steph has been working in bookshops for over 5 years! A keen student of history and current affairs, she is always up to date with new non-fiction releases. Ultimately though her heart lies with fiction. From Modern Literature to the occasional Sci-fi and Fantasy, Steph always has a long list of recommendations to offer.
The most heart-felt book I have read in a while. We follow four cats and their people as they learn from one another and the stories entwine. Each story starts with a beautiful illustration, and every time one ended I felt moved and personally part of the world created with such simplicity and profoundness. Whimsical, adorable and impactful, this is your next purrfect read.
