"My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
Smiling, in faulty grammar,
She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
All the wild sauces of the brimming year."
Mary Oliver (b. 1935), U.S. poet. "Answers," lines 11-16 (1972).

"Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that."
Mary Oliver (b. 1935), U.S. poet. Georgia Review, p. 733 (Winter 1981).

I absolutely love Mary Oliver's work. She is one of those people who stand out because of her originality and exquisite imagery. Very few poets have touched me as deeply as she has. She inspires me like a fresh breath of breeze over the literary world.

I can't begin to tell you what the work of Mary Oliver has meant to me over the last 15 years. I read and reread her poety. It touches me so deeply....her connection to nature. I wish I knew a way to contact her.
