Upstream: Selected Essays by Mary OliverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"There is something you can tell people over and over, and with feeling and eloquence, and still never say it well enough for it to be more than news from abroad-people have no readiness for it, no empathy."
I fear that my own eloquence, and feeling, for Mary Oliver's words will indeed never be enough to articulate the intense pleasure and freedom I receive when reading her work. She is the poet of my heart; she writes what I cannot, spills forth my innermost thoughts in ways that I'll never be able to do. All with eloquence.
