A New Poet

I think I haven't read Mary Oliver before, though she reminds me of overexposed Oriah Mountain Dreamer burnt out on the promotional circuit. It is very flowing, almost like song lyrics, see: http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/m_r/oliver/online_poems.htm

Not a patch on darling Les Murray.

I spent this morning eating cabbage soup and chocolate, reading the papers and Stefan's last article which he then decided to ditch.
