I love Mary Oliver too; she might be may favorite overall. I will add Jim Harrison. Ada Limón. Joy Harjo. David Budbill. Jane Hirshfield. These are just a few that I regularly revisit ... and doesn't take into account all the old Japanese and Chinese poets who keep my alive.

Also, thank you for that "Quickwrites" exercise. With some workshops coming up that I am charged with leading, I will make good use of it.

Hope you are doing well, Tammy. 💚

I cannot believe I forgot to list Ada Limon! I listen to the podcast every day. You introduced me to Jim Harrison. Thank you for sharing your list and reminding me of great poets.

The quickwrite works so well. I hope it is a success. Sometimes it takes the kids a couple sessions to catch on but then watch out!

I am doing much better now, thank you for saying so. Meds, time and writing all help!
