MARY OLIVER: SAVED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD

About this event

If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself—and her readers­—to the known and unknowable world. “[Sacha] Waters’s documentary will set one pondering, then reaching for the bookshelf, or perhaps walking out into the woods.” -Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal (NR, 91m)
