Book Review

Today I am reviewing the new poetry book called "Dog Songs" written by Mary Oliver.  As I have mentioned in the past, Mary Oliver is my favorite, contemporary poet.  In this new volume, Ms. Oliver's poems are all about dogs.  Many are about her dog Percy who she has written extensively about before.  My favorite poems in the book were about her dog Benjamin.  I especially enjoyed the poem entitled, "Poetry Teacher." 

I have been reading my favorite dog book "Maya's First Rose" again.  This book is really very good.  Each time that I read it, I have to recommend it again.
