About this Event

This film focuses on Oliver's deep affinity for Nature as a source of salvation--credited for helping her dealwith life's realities. Like Thoreau, Whitman, and Emerson, Oliver found transcendence in Nature, and her writing, in simple, yet eloquent language, expresses that spirit. She won a Pulitzer for American Primitive (1984),the National Book Award in 1992. “Oliver’s 'Nature' becomes an arena for shared struggle, one in which while we may be lonely, we are not alone”—Director Sasha Waters
