perfect collection to dive into on what feels like the first day of spring. her poems are just magical. my faves were "black oaks", "three songs", "shelley", "ruin, tree, thunder, and lightning" and "the osprey".

Oliver has such a way of describing nature so as to make it grow from the page and wrap its arms around you. Haunting, insightful, poignant.

Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?

While the soul, after all, is only a window,

and the opening of the window no more difficult
than the wakening from a little sleep.
