Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World

Don’t miss Rivertown Film’s presentation of “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World.” September 16. 7:30PM at the Nyack Center.  Celebrated poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Mary Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely, difficult childhood to literary fame, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and be loved. Directed by Sasha Waters. USA, 2026, 91 minutes. Tickets on sale!  CLICK HERE for details.
