"When you write a poem,
you write it for anybody and everybody."
Mary Oliver
Mary Oliver died at the age of 83 on January 17, 2019. For over 50 years, this poet shared her wisdom and skills with the world. It was as though she was writing from her heart, basing words on life experience, and simply sharing her love for nature.
Mary Oliver's poetry was approachable and easily understood. There was no guessing what her intention was as she was simply sharing. She was writing to all of us expressing her love for the connection between nature and God.
Mary Oliver shared what was in her heart, knowing it was the same in the hearts of others. She wrote for everyone hoping to ignite appreciation for life no matter what presented. She drew her readers in with compassion, wisdom, and simply by being human.
