Ross Gay: The Book of (More) Delights, Gebunden

Klappentext

A book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us, from an award-winning poet and bestselling author of The Book of Delights .

In Ross Gay's collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America's most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight.

For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the "nefarious" scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world-sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor's fig tree-and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us.

The Book of (More) Delightsis a volume to savor and share.
