If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. From a lonely childhood to literary fame, her life was defined by her devotion to nature and the long journey of learning to love and to be loved. A best-selling poet and Pulitzer Prize–winner, she embraced quiet observation, long walks in the woods, and the companionship of dogs. Openly queer yet intensely private, Oliver’s work transcends personal identity, reaching liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites alike. This inspiring film features her poems brought to life by the voices of Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, Stephen Colbert, and Oprah Winfrey — inviting audiences to experience the world as Oliver did: alive, attentive and full of wonder.
