Description: In this collection of essays poet, Mary Oliver reflects on her willingness to lose herself within the beauty and mysteries of both the natural world and the world of literature.

Oliver emphasises the significance of her childhood friend, Walt Whitman, through whose work she first understood that a poem is a temple, 'a place to enter, and in which to feel'. Encouraging her to vanish into the world of her writing, Oliver meditates on the forces that allowed her to create a life for herself out of work and love.

Oliver encourages the reader to keep moving, to lose oneself in the awe of the unknown, and to give power and time to the creative and whimsical urges that live within us.
