Dog Songs is a testament to the power and depth of the human-animal exchange, from an observer of extraordinary vision.

Threaded throughout Mary Oliver's many collections, there have always been dogs. Beloved by her readers, special to the poet's own heart, the dog poems offer a special window into Mary Oliver's universe. Dog Songs collects some of the most cherished poems together with new works, offering a portrait of Oliver's relationship to the companions that have accompanied her daily walks, warmed her home, and inspired her work.

Born in a small town in Ohio, Oliver published her first book of poetry in 1963 at the age of 28. Over the course of her long career, she has received numerous awards. Her fourth book, American Primitive, won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1984. Oliver currently lives in Provincetown, Massachusetts. 

We had the pleasure of hosting Kevin Phillips for a presentation on his most recent book of history. 1775 considers the economic, social, and political climate of this year, and argues that 1775 is the watershed year of the American Revolution, paving the way for all that followed.

Mr. Phillips's talk was followed by questions and conversation with a very engaged audience. After signing books for those in attendance, he graciously signed more for our store stock.

We have signed paperback editions of 1775.
