I’m going to post the link to the interview in O Magazine with Mary Oliver because I really think you should read it. (And you should read her poetry.) I think the interview is pretty interesting, but I also just wanted to say how glad I am that Rebecca posted “The Journey” because it’s one of my very favorite poems. Oliver’s Dream Work came into my life at a tumultuous time and it has always been a book I come back to again and again. My copy is worn to a thread because it’s been packed around, dropped, and read repeatedly. Other poems that are in that collection that I love are “Dogfish,” “Wild Geese,” “Black Snakes,”and “Coming Home.” Check out Mary Oliver. Her poems will bring some peace into your life.
