Blue Horses: Poems by Mary Oliver

lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

It must be a great disappointment to God if we are not dazzled at least ten times a day.

The question is, what will it be like after the last day? Will I float into the sky or will I fray within the earth or a river— remembering nothing? How desperate I would be if I couldn’t remember the sun rising, if I couldn’t remember trees, rivers; if I couldn’t even remember, beloved, your beloved name.
 

I like how these poems explored very mundane things like buying blueberries and how each one had a deeper message about the connection between nature and the self. I like Oliver's straightforward style of writing where I didn't have to sit and guess what she meant. Would definitely give her other poetry a go.
