So many feelings!!! I cried to some poems, laughed and smiled stupidly big at others. These poems made me really, really happy. What I feel most of all is recognition, in the way Oliver writes about nature. Not necessarily as a metaphor or imagery for something else, but as a subject in its own worth. I recognize that compassion and utter joy when being close to nature and the longing to be part of it. I love this!!!
