By heart: When Death Comes by Mary Oliver

August 31, 2026 Eric Johnson

From Devotions by Mary Oliver

Clearly, this has become a Mary Oliver fan blog.

There are worse uses of the internet.

Hers are still the poems I most delight in returning to.

Find what moves you, and move toward it and with it.
