Mary Oliver : The Kingfisher

This is one of the first poems we read in the class. It's very descriptive, Mary Oliver describes how the kingfisher eats in detail. She is trying to show how every simple act in life is beautiful. Also, one's survival is one's death. The kingfisher survives by eating the fish, and in the process the fish has to die, because this is the circle of life. I didn't really like this poem, I was missing the emotion.
