There is so much to be had in any one of her poems, this collection should be savored slowly over many weeks or months. It's arranged from her earliest work to her last; I chose to read it backwards. If you're a fan of the late Mary Oliver or just a nature lover, this is definitely one to add to the bookshelf.
