hi! I've been diving more into the idea of private lives and I've got a seamus heaney book on the way but would like to buy something of mary oliver's, would you recommend I start with Devotions or new and selected poems (vol 1 or 2)? thank u!
hello! i would say devotions since it’s the longest, most complete selection of her poetry, including poems from both new and selected poems collections. also, it’s chronologically organized so you’ll see the evolution of her poetry, something that’s always sweet. and it’s a very pretty edition

Hi Eleanor, this is the bookstore anon! I didn’t find Siken or Levis but I got Louise Glück’s “Poems 1962-2012” and Mary Oliver’s “New and Selected Poems (vol. 1).”I’m almost done with the Oliver book. She writes a lot about nature which I don’t really vibe with because I hate going outside, but it still makes me nostalgic and sort of wistfully happy, I guess? 1/3
I’ve found a few poems of hers that I really love, even though some of them still confuse me. My favorite is “White Owl Flies Into and Out of the Field” (“maybe death isn't darkness, after all, / but so much light wrapping itself around us” !!!!) and I didn’t understand “Starfish” well but I loved the line “what I wanted / was to be willing / to be afraid.” I’ll let you know what I think of Glück when I get there :) 2/3
Since I’m new to poetry, I’m still really confused by the metaphors and vagueness which can be frustrating. (Like, “I want to listen / to the enormous waterfalls of the sun.” What does it mean?!?!) In your opinion, what do you think the point of poetry is? Like, am I supposed to be understanding what I’m reading? Should I reread a poem until I get it? Or do I read through a bunch until I find one that speaks to me?? Or do I just sorta try to enjoy the imagery or the feeling of the words? 3/3
This is so so touching! I’m so glad you found some poems that you enjoyed—those two books you bought are the same two I own of those poets, so I can definitely vouch for them! I think if Mary Oliver knew her poems made you “nostalgic and sort of wistfully happy,” she’d be very pleased with that.
Yeah, I totally agree that poetry can be confusing sometimes! I think my number-one advice is to not treat it like school. It’s okay not to get stuff! I don’t get stuff all the time, haha -- I took a class a semester ago on a school of poetry that really confused me, and at the end they STILL confused me, but I had found some bits I enjoy. Which is enough for me :) Do not just sit there re-reading ‘til you get it, omg, that sounds miserable.
Advice to enjoy poetry more:
Read it out loud! Listen to the poets read their own work aloud! SO many times I’ve been confused by what’s on the page, and then the rises & falls of voices (even my own) make it suddenly click into place.
Stick with what you like for awhile. Branching out is good but also, again, this isn’t school. If you “get” confessionalists, don’t force yourself to read to read Tennyson, y’know? Read more of whoever you like, then google interviews and find out who they like, and read them.
If you like a line, that’s enough sometimes. Don’t tell yourself that you have to perfectly understand it, and be able to write a paper explaining it. Again, you’re doing this for fun, haha.
Listen to smart people talk about their favorite poems. And this doesn’t need to be NPR, haha--if you have a friend/family member who reads poems, let them gush at you about what they like in particular, you know? Or if you’re in school and have poetry (or even English in general) teachers/professors at hand, talk to them. People who are excited about stuff can make previously-boring stuff interesting.
If you give me some hints of what you enjoy, maybe I can give you some more specific poet recommendations? In the meantime, here are some good online free poems to read. Let me know what you think.
Indigo by Ellen Bass
The Poet at Seventeen by Larry Levis
Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude by Ross Gay (read this one aloud)

Do you have quotes about stubbornness in the positive sense?
“To stand on my own two feet again, to fight alone, to take myself back, to depend on no one.”
—Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin: Vol. 1
“Finally I woke up and said to myself: Fuck it. This is madness. And reminded myself that if you’re a survivor, the thing to do is survive.”
—Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters
“The damage is all done and I will get through it all right because there is no damage anyone can do to me which will be permanent.”
—Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters
“We must resist. We must refuse to disappear.”
—Margaret Atwood, The Animals in That Country
“So I shall come back. Tell lots of lies and fairy stories — or not at all, and just refuse politely to answer questions — and start over again. It’s a bit frightening and a bit hard. But it must be done.”
—Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters
“A river shaped her / smoothed her with sand and battered / her against the shore, and she / resisted, she is still here.”
—Margaret Atwood, Two-headed Poems
“Help me, I don’t want to weep for myself. I’m not giving up.”
—Susan Sontag, I, etcetera: Stories
“Your modest first task for your appearance is to try to fall as gracefully as possible, never letting yourself forget even for a moment that this is exactly the way it should be, and that this first attempt will have absolutely no bearing on how it will turn out in the future.”
—Sergei Prokofiev, Selected Letters
“…everything disturbs me, tears me to pieces, ravages me, and I make efforts to rise.”
—Gustave Flaubert, in a letter to George Sand
“Always, over and over, these days and nights will come, the anxiety, the aversion, the doubt. And I will still live, and I will still love life.”
—Hermann Hesse, from Wandering
“—for I know the hurts in me are all of my own making—& I must face them fearlessly—& try to gain something from them & without poison remaining.”
—Alfred Stieglitz, in a letter to Georgia O’Keeffe
“The moment of crisis had come, and I must face it. My old fears, my diffidence, my shyness, my hopeless sense of inferiority, must be conquered now and thrust aside.”
—Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca
“It will undoubtedly take quite a period of fumbling before I start on a new path, but I’m started—and seem to settle down to it every day as tho’ it is the only thing to do.”
—Georgia O’Keeffe, in a letter to Jean Toomer
“I just feel I’m bound to seem all wrong most of the time—so there is nothing to do but walk ahead and make the best of it—”
—Georgia O’Keeffe, Georgia O’Keeffe: A Life
“Right then she knows herself even less than she knows the sea. Her courage comes from not knowing herself, but going ahead nevertheless. Now knowing yourself is inevitable, and not knowing yourself demands courage.”
—Clarice Lispector, Complete Stories
“And I knew then / that I would have to live, / and go on living: what sorrow it was; / and still what sorrow ignites / but does not consume / my heart.”
—Jane Kenyon, “Evening Sun”
“how we climb out of our griefs / again and again and rise”
—Lisel Mueller, Waving from Shore: Poems
“In this there is no measuring with time, a year doesn’t matter, ten years are nothing. Being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. It does come.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet
“Headlong I was at first, and headlong I continue—precipitously rushing forward through all manner of nettles and briars instead of keeping the path;”
—Elizabeth Barrett, in a letter to Robert Browning
“I know that there are thorns in the hedges, but that does not prevent me from putting out my hands and finding flowers there. If all are not beautiful, all are interesting. Such is life! And if one does not take life like that, then how can one endure it?”
—George Sand, in a letter to Gustave Flaubert
“No, I’d never been to this country before. No, I didn’t know where the roads would lead me. No, I didn’t intend to turn back.”
—Mary Oliver, Felicity
“…I am ready to begin everything all over again.”
—Boris Pasternak, Letters Summer 1926
“Along with the differences that abide in each of us, there is also in each of us the maverick, the darling stubborn one who won’t listen, who insists, who chooses preference or the spirited guess over yardsticks or even history. I suspect this maverick is somewhat what the soul is, or at least that the soul lives close by and companionably with its agitating and inquiring force.”
—Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings
#ask#anon#compilation#positive stubbornness to me = determination / tenacity / grit / hope / belief#of hope to bite on like a bullet

How are you? I hope you’re doing okay! 💕✨ anyway, here’s a few random questions: 1. what are your favorite books? (Can be poetry books, fiction books, etc) 2. Do you have a sweet tooth? If you do, what’s your favorite to eat? 3. If you could steal a plot/storyline from any other tv show to see in 911, which one would you choose and why?
hi ren!! i'm doing good :) i've settled in back home and am just working on finding my feet and figuring out what i wanna do while i've suspended my study :) hope you're doing well too!!!
1. my favourite book of all time is erich maria remarque's all quiet on the western front (i have brian murdoch's translation). but another recent fave that i discovered last year is mary renault's the charioteer! and then of course mary oliver's new and selected poems (i have vol. 1) which is just... full chef's kiss. some other really great books close to my heart are emily m. danforth's plain bad heroines, sam hawke's poison wars duology, jane eyre by charlotte bronte! i'm also currently reading bloody rose by nicholas eames and it slaps a lot more than i thought it would!
2. i doooo oh my god hahaha. i will eat most sweet stuff although i will say that very rich chocolately sweets do make me feel ill pretty quickly lol. i can't go past my mum's banana bread though :')
3. oh my god this is difficult!!! i have a very eclectic taste in shows and tbh most veer on the fantasy side which wouldn't exactly vibe with 911. i will say i think a longer arsonist storyline could be interesting? i know they did one on lone star but i don't care. thinking about some of the really good arson episodes on criminal minds... i think that could definitely fit, produce some good tension/characters in peril and tie in athena's plot with the 118 really well!
sleepover weekend time!

to live in this world
you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go
Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Vol. 1

Quote
Here are the perfect
fans of the scallops,
quahogs, and weedy mussels
still holding their orange fruit –
and here are the whelks –
whirlwinds,
each the size of a fist,
but always cracked and broken –
clearly they have been travelling
under the sky-blue waves
for a long time.
All my life
I have been restless –
I have felt there is something
more wonderful than gloss –
than wholeness –
than staying at home.
I have not been sure what it is.
But every morning on the wide shore
I pass what is perfect and shining
to look for the whelks, whose edges
have rubbed so long against the world
they have snapped and crumbled –
they have almost vanished,
with the last relinquishing
of their unrepeatable energy,
back into everything else.
When I find one
I hold it in my hand,
I look out over that shanking fire,
I shut my eyes. Not often,
but now and again there’s a moment
when the heart cries aloud:
yes, I am willing to be
that wild darkness,
that long, blue body of light.
Mary Oliver, from New and Selected Poems, Vol. 1
