the first two sections were incredibly frustrating and made me want to abandon the book altogether. it was like a mismatch of musings, an unedited first draft. it really picks up in the third section but the essays are still somewhat hit or miss. as much i love mary oliver's poetry, i can't honestly say this collection lives up to her.

Really nice re-read (audiobook!) especially after having lived on the cape. I really don’t care about the middle section about her fav writers, but the beginning and end is 😍🥰
