A Thousand Mornings: Poems by Mary Oliver
inspiring
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
It's incredibly difficult to rate a collection of poems when the things I normally look to review (character development, pacing, relationships, etc.) just simply don't exist in poetry - at least not in the same way.
Mary Oliver is clearly a one-of-a-kind poet whose words I'm sure I will return to time and again. My favorite way to consume poetry is just to read one when I stumble upon it so reading a collection isn't quite my cup of tea, but I have no doubt that this collection would be perfect if that's something that you enjoy. It made me want to stop and take a second just to look at the world and it feels like that's exactly what the goal was.
