I think this is
the prettiest world—so long as you don‘t mind
a little dying

(From the poem The Kingfisher by Mary Oliver)

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. Each of us is given only so many mornings to do it — to look around and love…”. Thank you so much for the pick @BarbaraJean #newyearwhodis

BarbaraJean Yay!! I‘m so glad you enjoyed it… Mary Oliver is one of my favorites. 3y

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.

BookishFeminist Yes I'll have to check her out finally! What's your favorite of hers? She's been on my radar but never read her stuff. 8y
DragonSadhana This volume is my favorite, but another favorite is Owls and Other Fantasies. Just love her work. 8y
