Requests:  0 Summary:  "In The Book of Delights, one of today's most original literary voices offers up a genre-defying volume of lyric essays written over one tumultuous year. The first nonfiction book from award-winning poet Ross Gay is a record of the small joys we often overlook in our busy lives. Among Gay's funny, poetic, philosophical delights: a friend's unabashed use of air quotes, cradling a tomato seedling aboard an airplane, the silent nod of acknowledgment between the only two black people in a room. But Gay never dismisses the complexities, even the terrors, of living in America as a black man or the ecological and psychic violence of our consumer culture or the loss of those he loves. More than anything other subject, though, Gay celebrates the beauty of the natural world--his garden, the flowers peeking out of the sidewalk, the hypnotic movements of a praying mantis. The Book of Delights is about our shared bonds, and the rewards that come from a life closely observed. These remarkable pieces serve as a powerful and necessary reminder that we can, and should, stake out a space in our lives for delight."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Adult Nonfiction 814.6 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList         Add Copy to MyList
