stories always have meaning, but Mary Oliver gives her life some glorious meaning in this collection of essays written so obviously for the reader

I love Oliver's poetry but this was just... not for me. I didn't get anything out of any of these essays I think

kirapisk's review against another edition
I liked this book! Still, as it always is with collections I enjoyed some essays more than others. I warmly recommend section four and give. Section three was not my favourite, I have to admit. I very much found myself in the author's musings about nature and living in a small town on the countyside. Maybe I have to try that one day as well.
