twohandedbook 's review for:
Upstream: Selected Essays
by Mary Oliver
dark
slow-paced
An absolutely cursed take on nature. Oliver has a very settler colonial view of American land and nature, sometimes even perverse.
Mid book she pivots to even more boring pastures, dead white men. Her meditation on old dead poets is so boring & nothing critical or interesting is said. I care not for what one old poet thinks about another old dead poet.
I really thought I'd like this as I'm forgiving when it comes to nature essays but this is some dry mummified stuff.
