Of all the books that I read and review, I approach Mary Oliver's with the most humility and respect. I feel that there are no words to express the beauty and spirituality of her writing. All of Oliver's books have the ability to transport and transform. Her intimate connection with the immediate natural world around her resonates strongly with me. As I sat reading in my bed at night, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings took me back to a childhood of being outdoors on an island in Michigan. Her words create universal images, whether in poetry or prose. Through her eyes, I reclaimed the visions of my childhood. The turtles in Provincetown could be the turtles on the shore of a Michigan lake, some sixty years ago. Both her poetry and essays open the part of my heart that loves and longs for wilderness... both within and without. Although I always feel that Oliver's latest book is my favorite, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings is definitely one of her best.
