Poets are people who pay attention to the world and convey it in a way that makes readers feel their words. Their words are an invitation to view the world in new ways. Mary Oliver is one of these poets. This episode is a reading from her book of essays "Upstream." She's the one who wrote "tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

In this reading, she tells the story about the kingdom of a spider.
