Heard of this book on Booktube and the way it was described sounded really beautiful and interesting. It unfortunately didn’t live up to my expectations. 
I don’t think I’m a big enough fan of Mary Oliver, or classic poets in general, for this to be my type of book, so take this with a grain of salt.

Humility is the prize of the leaf world, and this book is the prize of ours. To stop, to reflect, to find solace in nature the way Mary Oliver does is most certainly bound to temper down the cruelest person . Resonating with your home, watching it change, and still being hopelessly in love with the world around you—I have a lot to learn from nature and its blessings but with this book I have embarked on the beginning of that journey.
