Dream Work by Mary Oliver. 

3/5 rating. 98 pages.

Book #63 of 2020. Read September 1, 2020.

This is another one of Mary’s books of nature poetry.

This book was fine, but I’ve read other books by Mary that really spoke to me; this one didn’t really do that as much.

A few of the parts I did especially like:

“I wanted

to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know,

whoever I was, I was

alive

for a little while.”

“Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.

Meanwhile the world goes on.

“For years and years I struggled

just to love my life.”

“and what we see is the world

that cannot cherish us

but which we cherish,”
