Very prose heavy but that's ofc what you should expect with Mary Oliver (and hopefully enjoy if you're picking up one of her books). Definitely don't recommend it as a first read if you're trying to get into the author. The writing is lovely but it never falters much in rhythm or pace, making it a 'slow' read to get through, but since I was looking for something to sit down with and pick back up when I felt like it rather than something to complete in a single sitting, I had a good experience with this book.
