Mary Oliver made me want to go out and appreciate this wonderful world we have. Naomi Shihab Nye is another favorite of mine and yes, there is always room for more poetry.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-91427594641334064232014-05-12T19:25:54.396-07:002014-05-12T19:25:54.396-07:00I jumped in after a long stretch, but I think I mo...I jumped in after a long stretch, but I think I mostly remembered the most important things that happened in The Emerald Atlas. There are some references here and there to the events in the first book and I would think, "Oh yeah, that happened too." I wish I had read them closer together, but it is still working.

I long for that stillness with nature, as you shared. I do have Naomi Shihab Nye's collection of poetry here at home, but there's always room for more poetry. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-68228130985816473252014-05-12T19:21:58.359-07:002014-05-12T19:21:58.359-07:00I saw the Jasons book and was excited since I real...I saw the Jasons book and was excited since I really enjoyed reading When I was the Greatest recently. <br /><br />I was the same about Mary Oliver. I had read a few poems here and there, but never read through an entire book. I will be reading more of her work for sure.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-42523358168766621132014-05-12T18:49:52.637-07:002014-05-12T18:49:52.637-07:00I don't know any of the books you read!

Looking forward to hearing how the sequel is. <br /><br />Happy reading this week! :)Kellee Moye (@kelleemoye)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11912740016918990989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-43207735040751230892014-05-12T14:09:09.250-07:002014-05-12T14:09:09.250-07:00Ah, I love trickster tales!

I loved that book. <br /><br />I need to read more of Mary Oliver's poetry. I should get my hands on one of her books. I've only read a smattering of her poems here and there.
