[Becca Lloyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will forever be in awe of the way Mary Oliver writes. Genuinely some of the best poetry ever written.

Thank you Mary Oliver for showing me the importance of slowing down, of noticing, of being within those soft and still moments.

One of the best poetry collections I’ve read to date. Mary Oliver was a true national treasure, and I cannot wait to explore more of her work.
