Watch Video of Maria Shriver and Mary Oliver
Last fall, while wrapping up her duties as First Lady of California, Maria Shriver flew cross-country to Florida’s Atlantic Coast to interview Mary Oliver, one of her favorite poets, for a revealing Q&A. The interview appeared in O’s Poetry Month issue, and is delightful, but it is a special joy to see Mary Oliver giggle on video.
Praise
“Mary Oliver’s poems are natural growths out of a loam of perception and feeding, and feeling, and instinctive skill with language makes them seem effortless. Reading them is a sensual delight.”
—May Swenson
