I love that litany of questions from her poems! She may be the poet whose work I know best, yet I never looked at her through the lens of questions. Thank you for this! And for the image of kids sticking their heads up toward the front seat to pester the adults with endless questions. Wonder and curiosity forever! ✊🏼

Grateful to have found your writing this year by way of a blog friend who lives in Germany, to have been introduced to so many poets I had not read before. Your weekly essays enrich my creative life.
Many of Mary Oliver's questions are like koans. I love them. It is heartening to read your essay about her poetry at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.
All the best to you and your beloveds in 2024 and always.
