I want to read more poetry this year and I loved this collection. Perfect way to start the new year. Favorites included “Everything,” and “The Deer.” From the deer: this is the earnest work.

And now for #WomanCrushWednesday! Thanks to @BookishFeminist for bringing this to Litsy. Mary Oliver is mine for today. Her poetry leaves me with a sense of *yugen.* love, love, love her.
