I love Mary Oliver, I almost feel her close and a teacher… These essays definitely have the precious moments that remind you what’s important. I cannot give it 5 stars and maybe it’s my own fault. Ada Limón says don’t gobble a poetry book, read one poem at a time as they’re intense and expansive artifacts, and I sinned precisely of that here. I read more than one of these small essays at a time, sometimes many at a time, and perhaps that’s not the way with this book… Also, the middle part is quite different, no reverence to nature but to other human beings, companions to the poet and poets themselves. That’s the part I could also connect less with, and I wish I had taken a breath from the first part to this one. In case that helps!
