"I read a few pages from this Mary Oliver selected compendium of poems spanning more than five decades every single day — often in the morning. It’s what I imagine a bird feels when they hop into a really beautiful birdbath with really clean water in it."

All in all, this was an easy read but I was hoping to feel more as I read it. I found I only really identified with a handful of the poems and felt like many of the shorter ones were there as page filler to make the book seem longer. I really enjoyed all the artwork, however, and I'll probably end up reading her next book to see how her writing has evolved. I just ended up feeling like this sort of fell short of the hype that was created around it, however, I understood why a lot of women could identify with the poems.
