Description: I did not receive permission from poet Mary Oliver to publish this but(perhaps because) I am not charging for it. The Improvox App is an electronic music processor with reverb which adds an augmented triad to vocal pitches. The Alto part is not more ambitious as knowing Oliver's distaste for being set I tread lightly.
Good poetry is already music, so I kind of get it.
