Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver by Mary Oliver

3.0

I wanted so badly to like this more. I feel like 30% of her poems are so strong and make me want to know her and the rest is just her being distracted by things she sees outside but I, too, have adhd and spend time outside so I don’t need to read the ramblings when I can just do that myself. If there is a greater point to that 70% of poems then I couldn’t stay focused enough to find it. Mary Oliver is still a legend though and I much prefer her essays. RIP.
