Devotions - Mary Oliver

Mary Oliver is one of my favourite poets. She writes deeply and softly. She is so connected to the natural world, its beauty and darkness.

I invite you to read a few poems from this (big) book compiling dozens of Mary’s poems.

My favourites are “Wild Geese”, “Shadows”, “Morning Poem”, “The Dark Gift” and “Love Sorrow.”

My advice? Read them out loud and feel the words going through your whole being.
