Mary Jane Oliver, R. I. P.
A poet all her life, of her life…
Mary Jane Oliver (1935-2019)
R. I. P.
American poet extraordinaire…
…she kept looking for the right words
Mary Oliver shared so much of her being, in compelling, provocatively calming ways.
Mary Oliver invited me to understand the goodness of sitting quietly at the edge of a pond, seeing and hearing its life, feeling connected to our world.
Mary Oliver made much of her “one wild and precious life.”
Mary Jane Oliver, requiescat in pace.
[Selection is from Mary Oliver’s “The Summer Day”]
