Review: A brilliant and moving book of poetry. - House of Light is the fourth book of poetry by Mary Oliver that I have read, and reading it was an experience of transcendent joy. In this particular book, Oliver poses interesting philosophical questions about the soul, death, the afterlife, and the divine experienced in the present, explores the beauty of the natural world through her observations of deer, bears, snakes, turtles, birds, different types of plants and trees, captures the world in all of its terror, complexity, and beauty, and gives the readers a profound sense of joy, hope, and the gift of being alive in the present. My favorite poem in this book is "The Summer Day." It is amazing how a short work of art such as this poem can convey so much about life and what it means to be human in some lines that can someone can read in less than a minute. Mary Oliver was a voice for many people, understood the mystery, power, and importance of poetry, and was certainly a bard! It was an honor to recently have my poem "Ode to Mary Oliver' published in Poetica # 24 An Inner Circle Writers' Poetry anthology published by Clarendon House Publications. Review: Poetry to live by. A must have on your bookshelf. - Oliver’s poetry is a journey of emotion and reaches everyone, even those who feel out of reach. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 498,647 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 6,423 in Spirituality (Books) 31,713 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (408) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 0.61 x 21.59 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 080706811X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0807068113 | | Item weight | 125 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | 8 April 1992 | | Publisher | Beacon Press | ## Images ![House of Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LxyXdqn9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A brilliant and moving book of poetry. *by J***S on 25 June 2025* House of Light is the fourth book of poetry by Mary Oliver that I have read, and reading it was an experience of transcendent joy.
