All I will say is that when Mary Oliver is “good, she is very very good. But when she is bad she is horrid.” She actually reminds me of a character from the poem that we will be reading in that she is quite technically skilled, yet often lacking the vision that comes from love of the “God behind the gods behind the gods” … as the author of our December poem would say. ;)
Sarah's got the best poetry recommendations. And everything Katie and Shari said has me so eager to pick it up. It's like we get two "books about books" this year!
The soft animal of my body is excited to burrow into this book😂
Have you read it before?
Nope, but I am going to guess “Wild Geese” is not the poem we will be reading.

I am so glad Sarah had a better response to this! Obviously I haven't read much Mary Oliver!
Nope!! The connection might not be quite as direct!
Ooh, this one is totally new to me, but I am eager to pick it up!
