This April, join Sheldrake in celebrating the poetry of Mary Oliver in honor of National Poetry Month, Arbor Day, and Earth Day. Mary Oliver was a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet best known for her homage to the natural world. Her poetry–on swans, on kingfishers, on ponds, on trees–has been described as “an excellent antidote for the excesses of civilization.” What better setting to explore these literary works than Sheldrake, where we can directly connect with these awe-inspiring subjects? Through reading, discussion, trail walks, and contemplation, we’ll connect with poetry as an art form, with nature, and with each other.
