In the poem 'Wild Geese' Mary Oliver encourages her readers to be imaginitive and to shed loneliness by discovering his or her place "in the family of things" She explores the connection between the human mind, nature in general and the wild geese in particular. She reminds her readers of the fact that they like the wild geese inhabit the same world as other animals and that we should respond to our environment in a natural animalistic way as animals don't have any regrets and that they don't punish themselves for behaviour that is in their nature. She is telling us that we should exult in our bodies and not be ashamed of them. She brings for in the beauty and wonders of nature. She imagines how muchbetter the world would be if people were more in tune with it. She in her poem portrays nature as a world being both sympathetic and welcoming to human beings. It uses the voices of wild geese to call out to individuals in despair and to let them know that there is a place for them in natures family.
