Description

This week, Travis and Amanda analyze the first half of UPSTREAM, an essay collection by Mary Oliver. This one's for all you wayward souls who've wandered through the woods, built a ramshackle treehouse, or gleefully ran outside to play in the mud. Oliver's blissful and soulful (and, sure, I'll say it: at times, pretty weird!) connection to nature makes this an essay collection well worth while; consider her ruminations on some canonized American authors a nice bonus. Don your strongest SPF sunscreen and wander in the rhetorical woods with us.
