Smith, Pulitzer Prize winner and U.S. PoetLaureate The winner of the NBCC Award for Poetry offers up a spirited collection of shortlyric essays, written daily over a tumultuous year, reminding us of the purpose andpleasure of praising, extolling, and celebrating ordinary wonders. In The Book of Delights,one of today’s most original literary voices offers up a genre-defying volume of lyric essays writtenover one tumultuous year. The first nonfiction book from award-winning poet Ross Gay is a recordof the small joys we often overlook in our busy lives. Among Gay’s funny, poetic, philosophicaldelights: 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 neverdismisses the complexities, even the terrors, of living in America as a black man or the ecologicaland psychic violence of our consumer culture or the loss of those he loves. More than anythingother subject, though, Gay celebrates the beauty of the natural world--his garden, the flowerspeeking out of the sidewalk, the hypnotic movements of a praying mantis.The Book of Delights isabout our shared bonds, and the rewards that come from a life closely observed. Theseremarkable pieces serve as a powerful and necessary reminder that we can, and should, stake outa space in our lives for delight.
