Mary Oliver Prints To Bring Nature, Healing, and Inspiration To Your Home

One of my yoga teachers regularly reads “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver to start class. It’s always one of those poems that’s a reminder of the power of listening to ourselves, and it was a poem I’ll always associate, too, with the memory of one of our community who died by suicide last fall, rattling all of us who saw her as a staple in our studio.
I took to reading that poem, as well as a number of others, as I’ve taught, too. There’s power in the simplicity, especially in the observations of the natural world.
Last year, when we lost Mary Oliver, I pulled together a collection of prints featuring her words. In honor of Earth Day, the sorrow and fears and anxieties and uncertainties we’re all feeling right now, it just seems right to revisit Oliver’s powerful words. Find below an assortment of incredible Mary Oliver prints, with an emphasis on prints featuring natural landscapes and scenery.
Take a deep breath. Listen to the soft animal of your body. Be tender. Nature continues. You will, too.
