Have you ever followed a path just to see where your own thoughts would lead?

In Upstream, Mary Oliver invites you into the quiet, lush spaces where she found her own sense of wonder. These essays follow her through forests and along shorelines, but also into the deeper wildness of her thoughts. On creativity, solitude, devotion, and the practice of truly paying attention.

Written with her signature clarity and reverence, Upstream reminds us that the way forward is often found by looking inward. Oliver celebrates the beauty of the everyday, the mysterious grace of the natural world, and the courage it takes to live a life grounded in awe.
