Description

Inspired by the life and craft of Mary Oliver, My Poet celebrates the joy of connecting perception and experience with words, with glowing artwork by Jen Hill and profound text by Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan. Patricia MacLachlan has written a lyrical ode to writing, to poetry, and to the celebrated American poet, Mary Oliver.

In this mesmerizing picture book, a little girl wants to write, and one summer day she joins the poet who lives nearby to explore a town on Cape Cod.

Together, they look. Together, they touch. Together, they find words. All things in the natural world, the girl discovers, bring words to the poet.

Can the girl find the words to write her own poetry, too?Glorious artwork by New York Times bestselling illustrator Jen Hill illuminates the text.

Mary Oliver passed away in 2019, but her way of seeing the world inspired this book.

Although not biographical, the story captures the author’s personal connection to the famous poet, as summarized in the author’s note.
