It has only been in the past several years of my senior-citizen life that I became acquainted with the poetry and writings of Mary Oliver; not aware that she was already deceased. I loved everything I read of what she wrote because her words were brimming with the effulgence of life. I also appreciated reading this article and learning more about her writing process. Her words will remain alive and full of life to me and others, even though Mary has flown away and is soaring with her wild geese.
