I found a neat quote by Mary Oliver that I added as my tagline and though I had heard her name wasn't familiar with her writing. Anyone else truely enjoy her poetry?" "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver
I've read a number of her poems in different magazines but I don't have any of her books. I like her poetry but wonder why I can't find any books? cindy
I remember some of her poems from my college anthologies. I really liked "Tasting the Wild Grapes". I just checked Amazon, and she's got plenty of books available in paperback for around $10. Not many people buy books of poetry (except other poets!), so I doubt we'd ever find them at garage sales or used book sales.
I ought to check out more of her poetry, I love the focus on nature.
I love Mary Oliver! Recently there was a big feature article on her in the travel section of the NY times. There are now nature hikes you can go on in her beloved Cape Cod that showcase where she wrote her poems. That would be a fun thing to do. Sara
