Devotions by Mary Oliver

Ginny Branch

“Her poetry is my favorite to read while I drink my coffee. The documentary out now on her is also worth a watch. I’ve been reading selected poems to my daughter. The line “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it love,” is tattooed on my brain.”

“No other poetry book has filled me with more hope”
