Wild and Precious: A Celebration of Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective relaxing sad slow-paced

4.0

Part biography, part tribute, part poetry reading, this felt like a long podcast, in a good way. The audio design was very well done, with subtle sound effects like crickets or waves. I thought it did a good job of  honoring Mary Oliver while being real about who she was as a person. Carmen Maria Machado tells a story that absolutely gutted me. I would listen to this if I couldn’t sleep because it’s so gentle and evocative.
