    <body><![CDATA[Mary Oliver confuses me. Sometimes she has these beautiful, profound poems (&quot;Bone&quot;, &quot;The Summer Day&quot;), and then sometimes her poetry is just.. terrible. Boring, awkwardly worded, pointless.. I don't understand how someone can vary so much in their poems. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great little book of poetry by Pulitzer Prize author Mary Oliver. Good reminder of the small things in life that have big impacts - like little perks of nature that we often take for granted. Just read a poem a day for a nice breath of fresh air!]]></body>
