Selected Essays
Jul 12, 2017MaryElizabeth17 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
In this book of wonderful essays, Mary Oliver alternates between her explorations of the natural world and essays that offer glimpses into her creative side. She has an essay about finding friends in books beginning when she was very young and living in a small Ohio town. And, in another, she writes about the creative life and how, for her, it is very closely aligned with the spiritual life. And how she took some turtle eggs from the nest and scrambled them! I enjoyed getting to know her better through these essays.
