The depth and diversity of perceptual awareness &#8212; so steadfast and radiant in American Primitive &#8212; continues in Dream Work.

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Dream Work, a collection of forty-five poems, follows both chronologically and logically Mary Oliver&#8217;s American Primitive, which won her the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1983. The depth and diversity of perceptual awareness &#8212; so steadfast and radiant in American Primitive &#8212; continues in Dream Work. Additionally, she has turned her attention in these poems to the solitary and difficult labors of the spirit &#8212; to accepting the truth about one&#8217;s personal world, and to valuing the triumphs while transcending the failures of human relationships.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Dream Work, a collection of forty-five poems, follows both chronologically and logically Mary Oliver&#8217;s American Primitive, which won her the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1983. The depth and diversity of perceptual awareness &#8212; so steadfast and radiant in American Primitive &#8212; continues in Dream Work. Additionally, she has turned her attention in these poems to the solitary and difficult labors of the spirit &#8212; to accepting the truth about one&#8217;s personal world, and to valuing the triumphs while transcending the failures of human relationships.&lt;/div&gt;]]>
