Mary Oliver was born on September 10, 1935, in Cleveland, Ohio. As a teenager, she lived for a brief while in the home of the deceased Edna St. Vincent Millay, where she helped Millay’s sister Norma organize the papers Millay left behind. She briefly attended both Ohio State University and Vassar College in the mid-1950s but did not receive a degree at either college. She has resided in Provincetown, Massachusetts, for more than forty years. Oliver’s partner, Molly Malone Cook, served as her literary agent until Cook’s death in 2005

OLIVER, Mary (1935– ), was born in Ohio and attended Ohio State University and Vassar College; she has taught at Case Western Reserve. Her first four collections—No Voyage and Other Poems (1965), The River Styx and Other Poems (1972), The Night Traveler (1978), and Sleeping in the Forest (1979)—revealed a poet in full command of considerable technical resources who delighted in odd line-breaks and varying rhyme placements.
