I enjoyed these poems but none of them deeply spoke to me. I also always feel like I compare poets I read against Mary Oliver which is probably unfair

This is the first full volume of Hirshfield poems I've read and I must admit I was underwhelmed. It was the rare poem here that spoke to me or that I even understood. Sigh. Feeling disappointed.
