Ik houd van Mary Oliver, hoe prachtig en gedetailleerd zij de natuur beschrijft, en hoe ze het leven ziet in relatie tot de natuur. En dit werkt ook in essayvorm, al blijft haar schrijven poëtisch. 

De essays in het midden van het boek over het werk van andere schrijvers waren iets minder mijn ding.

"In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be." ~Mary Oliver

I’m sorry but that was not for me. Too disjointed and rambl-y and not much resonated with me
