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.

The Truro Bear and Other Adventures, a companion volume to Owls and Other Fantasies and Blue Iris, brings together ten new poems, thirty-five of Oliver's classic poems, and two essays all about mammals, insects, and reptiles. The award-winning poet considers beasts of all kinds: bears, snakes, spiders, porcupines, humpback whales, hermit crabs, and, of course, her beloved but disobedient little dog, Percy.
