Hi I’m from wales, I haven’t read Mary Oliver before. I studied creative writing in Uni and love poetry so when you mentioned this book club I just though ‘perfect ✨’
I've read some Mary Oliver poems but have not owned a book of hers. I just actually wrote a poem and then saw a notification with "book club," and got me here. Thank you for making this available without the upgrade. I'd love to try this book club, my first time✨️ I hope to find me a copy here. hello everyone!...joining from the Philippines. Although summer is already over here🤭
I’m actually really exited about this book club! I’ve always tried to find one that matched my interests and I could never find one, until now! I have read some Mary Oliver’s work, so I’m looking forward to reading more
Was still on the fence a bit since life is chaos right now with a little baby, BUT. That just means I need this more. A little moment for me, a devotion (hehe) to myself. So yes, I just ordered the book and can't wait to dive in.
I will be reading in and around my home and, hopefully, at the beach a lot! I've never read a full Mary Oliver book, just some poems here and there so I'm curious to really dive in.
Mariët, this comment is so special to me 🥹 what a beautiful way to experience this summer of poetry! With a little baby in your arms 🫶 ugh yes you DO need a little devotion to yourself — and what better way to do that than slowly (and presently) reading and reflecting on a short poem each day.
It almost feels like I made this book club just for you 🥰😆 enjoy 💚💚💚 can’t wait to hear more about your experience.
this will be my first encounter with Mary Oliver! i look forward to sitting on one of the porch swings at my apartment in the morning light ♡ i simply saw this book club on my feed and decided why not! i recently graduated from my clinical doctorate program and have been dying to slow down and get back into reading for pleasure. thank you for providing a beautiful creative space and the opportunity to participate ♡
Ooooh how exciting! I’ve never read any of Mary Oliver’s work before and I’m currently away in Portugal but I’ve ordered a copy of Devotions that will be waiting for me when I get home. The reading schedule and homework both look dreamy, thank you so much for all your hard work to make this possible for us all… x
Yay!! I hope you enjoy yourself 🥰 and it is my pleasure to share this with you! Seriously, it brings me so much joy to chat about books and creativity and to do so in a way that makes it accessible and fun for everyone 💚 thanks for the comment!!
I haven't read any Mary Oliver before so I'm looking forward to reading this collection from the comfort of the hammock in my garden and, if I'm lucky, in the company of my neighbour's beautiful cat!
This is so fun Rose! I have read all of Devotions and it is one of the most beautiful books of poetry. I won’t be joining the book club but all the best with it! It genuinely looks so enjoyable:)
thanks for the comment, Tristan! I can't wait to start reading it! No worries about not joining book club :) it'll exist on my substack forever as a reading guide so maybe you can return to it if you ever wanted to give Devotions a read through! 😁

This is a great idea! I love Mary Oliver and I'm excited to go deeper with her work. Thanks for putting this together!
Love this!! 💗📖
Love this!!! I read Devotions years ago and have been wanting to revisit it. This is the perfect opportunity! Excited to connect over Mary Oliver 🤍
