Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver

4.0

I was wary when I first started reading this book because I judged it by the title and assumed I was going to be preached at the entire time. That's not what this is. While the author did wrote about her faith and love for God, it wasn't in a proselytizing tone and I found myself connecting with a lot more poems than I expected. Mary Oliver wrote about her love for nature more than anything else, and a lot of the poems about religion were connecting her faith to her love for nature and I thought they were all beautiful poems. You could practically taste the emotion in them.
