Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver
5.0
does your boyfriend ever buy you the most stunning and perfect collection of poetry to help you began your journey to your poetry girl era? MINE DOES.
this was PHENOMENAL. along similar veins of Braiding Sweetgrass, this collection is truly an ode to nature and what that adds and means in regards to being a human. I'm going to list my favorites down below because there were SO many that spoke to me so prominently. Please recommend poetry similar to this if you know of any, goodreads is recommending Ada Limon so that may be where i look next.
Favorites include:
The World I Live In, Storage, I Worried, To Begin With The Sweet Grass, Of The Empire, Self-Portrait, Why I Wake Early, Where Does the Temple Begin Where Does it End, Can You Imagine?, Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches, When Death Comes, Some Questions You Might Ask, The Summer Day, White Owl Flies Into and Out of the Field, Singapore, Morning Poem, Wild Geese, The Journey*, and In Blackwater Woods.
