Wild and Precious: A Celebration of Mary Oliver

Available only in the audiobook format, this is a unique and uniquely affecting tribute to American poet Mary Oliver, as told through a collection of narrators who knew and admired her as a poet and as a person. Some recordings by Oliver of her work are included, but the book's greatest gift is the weaving together of all the other voices — friends, students, writers, a rabbi, actor Rainn Wilson and more — who illustrate through reminiscences and conversations how significantly this one poet impacted so many people in so many different ways.
