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 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.
