The Buddha's last instruction feels a little bit different than a lot of her poems to me because it is telling a story. And I also like very much how she weaves two stories together, one the story of the Buddha in his last day and the other of her waking up to begin a day. So we'll hear those two pieces weave in and out of each other on this special Mary Oliver episode.
April is National Poetry Month and we put together this special episode to pay tribute to the late poet, Mary Oliver. Special guests James Crews, Danusha Lameris, Ross Gay, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, and Ginny Gay will read one of their favorite Mary Oliver poems and share why the poem is meaningful to them. Whether you are a fan of Mary Oliver's work or are just learning about her for the first time, we hope you'll be inspired by some of the beautiful poetry in this episode!
