Mary Oliver Reads Her Poetry
Mary Oliver was a woman of such deep faith in the goodness of things. A Pulitzer prize winner at a young age, Mary spent her life asking the deeper questions of life, searching out the answers through her affinity with the natural world, a place she had retreated to during a difficult childhood. She saw the fingerprint of the divine in every detail of nature, marrying her love for all things alive with her search to make sense of the world. Here she reads from her own poetry.
“I don’t know exactly what a prayer is......I do know how to pay attention.”
