Oliver’s “Wild Geese” and an Elegy for Oliver


Bill Griffin is doing “Earth Day” poems the entire month of April over at “Verse Image.” He asked for recommendations and “companion poems,” so I recommended Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese” (one of my all-time favorites) and sent him my elegy for Oliver, “Wild and Precious.” They were posted today: https://griffinpoetry.com/2025/04/22/earth-day-2025/
