Hello, sun in my face.
About the Book
Title: Why I Wake Early
Author: Mary Oliver
Genre: Poetry
Synopsis: The forty-seven new works in this volume include poems on crickets, toads, trout lilies, black snakes, goldenrod, bears, greeting the morning, watching the deer, and, finally, lingering in happiness. Each poem is imbued with the extraordinary perceptions of a poet who considers the everyday in our lives and the natural world around us and finds a multitude of reasons to wake early.
My schedule may not leave much choice in when I wake these days, but this poetry is making it a little more enjoyable. Honestly, I think I would enjoy getting up before the sun if I were not staying up so late working on homework! I don’t mind it too much as it is, though. Most of the time.
Is reading a part of your morning?
Until the next chapter,
Jana
Reviews From the Stacks 
I started reading a poem or two a day each morning last year and it has changed my mornings! I need to find this book! Thank you!

This looks lovely. I don’t read poetry much but a few lines to start my day sounds like a good idea.

I don’t make a habit of reading in the morning. I’d probably fail to get up. I write morning pages though.Maybe I could read one poem though.
