i don’t always agree with mary oliver’s perspective, but it is always undeniably interesting and sometimes feels profound! i will treasure this book throughout my life and hopefully use it as a tool to remembering how beautiful everything is

Very poetic and reflective with the underlying theme of nature. Loved the combination of literature and nature - felt very aligned as someone who witnesses the natural world as a poetic and romantic masterpiece.

I finished this in bed while it was raining listening to mostly chimes by adrianne lenker and I feel blessed to know the comforting works of these beautiful women and to know the sound of the rain on my old, old windows and to know the taste of café bustelo with cream and I am happy to know the world and all who live in it!!! I am emotional!!!

Wordsworth’s Mountain, Swoon, Owls, and Ropes are my favourites.

I think reading it as an e book was a mistake. Reading this as my first Mary Oliver writing was a mistake . The last this of the book was wonderful, I can’t wait to come across some poetry by Mary later in life.
