At Blackwater Pond: Mary Oliver Reads Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver
emotional
hopeful
informative
inspiring
4.5
first time reading mary oliver (aside from hearing 'wild geese' on tiktok) and i was swept away by the enchanting way which mary writes nature. listening to it as an audiobook narrated by mary herself only made the experience more magical. it comes from a deep and profound love for it, calls others to appreciate it, and speaks of a desire to not only be in nature to but be a part of it. some of my favourite poems were:
- summer day
- bone
- wild geese
- maybe
- the sun
i'd like to revisit this in other seasons, preferably spring and summer, it's such a healing read.
