The Eyes of Mary
Mary Oliver looks; she sees everything in infinite yet minute detail. When we see a sunset, or a flower, we have many different thoughts and emotions in a barrage of human feeling; somehow Oliver encompasses all of this, this deep appreciation of the beauty of nature, with the sweep of a few short words. My favorite poem from this collection is 'Where Does the Temple Begin, Where Does It End?'

Soothing and beautiful
Mary Oliver has articulated those delicate feelings which come from observing nature and being at peace. She also articulates what it's like when that peace is disturbed somehow. Reading her poetry out loud lets her words sink in, one by one, as I feel what she felt.
