Welcome to Litsy!

This was a nice collection of poetry and two Essays about nature, and more specifically various species of birds. I enjoyed most of them, but my favorite was “Wild Geese“

My only criticism is reading through her second essay about finding an injured gull, and instead of taking it to a wildlife facility or the vet, she and her partner started caring for it. It isn't what you fo with injured wildlife. You don't keep them as pets.

This was my Friday night read but I fell asleep- not in response to the book! Nursing a cold. #NonfictionWinter #Litsolace

I‘m back at it! Recommitted to my goal of reading a poem every day. I found this Mary Oliver collection at my library‘s bookstore and absolutely adore the colors on the cover! 💜💛 (and yes, this is a view angled up from the floor by the toilet 🚽 to show off my favorite yellow and pink 💖 colors decorating my guest bathroom 🤷🏻‍♀️)

These days, a gentle poem in the morning is just what I need. 🍃 Mary Oliver is just right.

Oliver‘s writing beautifully blurs the boundaries between the human and natural realms. In her graceful and precise style, Oliver discusses topics such as turtle eggs, housebuilding, unexpected whistling sounds, and the interconnectedness of all things. Her reflections on poetry and favorite poets, including Poe, Frost, Hopkins, and Whitman, add depth to this extraordinary and engaging work.

Went for a walk in the snow then came home and read this while everyone else watched football. It was pretty perfect. #LMPBC will mail this week ❤️

I always love Mary Oliver. And this one was no exception. My favorites were Swoon, The Swan, & Winter Hours (which I strongly related to).

Christine, thanks for picking such this! 💚
Jill, I‘ll get this in the mail hopefully tomorrow!

Thanks Christine! I‘m looking forward to reading this. ❄️
