Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
April 11 @ 5:30 pm
Mary Oliver was a best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, queer and out but intensely private. Her poems cross every divide, inspiring liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites alike. If poetry had a pop icon, Oliver would be it.
This documentary draws on interviews with Oliver’s friends and archival footage to offer the clearest portrait yet of her wild and precious life. Poems are read by Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Jesse Welles, and Oprah Winfrey.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with producer, director, and editor Sasha Waters.
Featuring: Sasha Waters, Producer, Director, Editor
