Now, first things first: I need you to know that I could fill an entire post with Mary Oliver

poems
on nature. In fact, I encourage you to check out posts from fellow Rioters:  5 Quotes from Mary
Oliver Poems That Could Save Humanity; A Note of Gratitude to Mary Oliver on Her Birthday;
and Buy, Borrow, Bypass:  The Call to Language (or The Mary Oliver Edition). My best advice
is to just go read all of Mary Oliver. Your soul will thank you.

The same would go for Wendell Berry, who is both a poet and a conservationist and has
published widely in both poetry and nonfiction about the subject. And in fact, I would encourage
you to check out Valerie Michael’s post 100 Must-Read Books About Nature (which include
Berry). While not poetry, necessarily, this is a great list of books to help you get in touch with
the aforementioned beauty and brutality.
