A collection of 43 new poems from Pulitzer Prize-winner Oliver, "Thirst" introduces two new directions in the poets work. Grappling with grief at the death of her partner of over 40 years, she strives to experience sorrow as a path to spiritual progress, and chronicles her discovery of faith.

A companion volume to "Owls and Other Fantasies" and "Blue Iris," this collection of new poems and beloved classics about creatures of all sorts completes the three-volume series of Oliver's works.
