In constant conversation with the sublime, (i.e. \"\u003ci\u003eAre you afraid? \/ Somewhere a thousand swans are flying \/ through winter's worst storm.\u003c\/i\u003e\"), Oliver has the rare skill of rendering life: her poems bring movement to stillness, and people to the Earth, themselves, and each other.
