Again Mary Oliver fails to inspire me, this time because of the repetative themes and even lines in this poem. Every poem was about how glorious god and jesus are and how everything in the world is theirs. There's little variation in the interpretation of the majority of these poems. They are not necessarily bad, but to me it just seems like a collection of 15 poems that all say the exact thing.

Poetry that is found in the natural and everyday world in the timelessness of life and emotion.
I love her poems which make me want to walk under the cathedral of the sky.

This book brought me closer to God than any prayer, any religious story, any psalm, any confession, any communion, any visit at the local church. This book marked the reason I come to see light in loss and grief.

Those Days, A Pretty Song, Thirst, The Wood Winter Arrives and Doesn’t Every Poet Write a Poem about Unrequited Love = 🤍
