Book Summary:
Join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion as we explore Upstream: Selected Essays by beloved poet and naturalist Mary Oliver. In this collection, Oliver reflects on the experiences, observations, and relationships that shaped her life as a writer and her deep connection to the natural world. Through essays that are both personal and profound, she shares insights on creativity, solitude, attention, and the beauty found in everyday encounters with nature.

Filled with wisdom, curiosity, and appreciation for the world around us, Upstream invites readers to slow down, look closely, and consider the ways nature enriches our lives. The essays offer plenty of meaningful themes and reflections to spark conversation among nature lovers and readers alike.
