Mary Oliver?s Dog Songs is a celebration of the special bond between human and dog, as understood through the poet?s relationships to the canines that have accompanied her daily walks, warmed her home, and inspired her work. Oliver?s poems begin in the small everyday moments familiar to all dog lovers, but through her extraordinary vision, these observations become higher meditations on the world and our place in it.
