Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World

Mary Oliver: best-selling poet and Pulitzer Prize winner; lover of dogs and long walks in the woods; queer and out, but intensely private. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites. If poetry had a pop icon, Oliver would be it. 

Featuring poems read by Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Jesse Welles, and Oprah Winfrey. Oliver once wrote, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” With Mary Oliver: Saved By the Beauty of the World, interviews with Oliver’s friends and archival footage give us a clearer picture than ever about her wild and precious life.
