Favorites: "Spoon," "To the Fig Tree on 9th and Christian", "Ode to buttoning and Unbuttoning my Shirt", "Ode to Drinking Water From My Hands", "Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude." ( ) Devoured this delicious book of poetry during breaks at Soulfire Farm's Black and Latino Farmer Immersion. I loved listening to, meeting and communing with permaculture poet Ross Gay. There is no substitute for the animated way he reads his work. Definitely go see him reading live if you have the opportunity. A must-savor collection for anyone who digs nature, gardening, farming, orchards, the outdoors and vibrant imagery. The way Ross sees the world, his divine diction and rhythm, playfully (and sometimes painfully) etched with tiny heart-opening moments of the abundance of the simple life is a gift to us all. Thank you! I discovered a copy of this book at one of the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood and I was SO DELIGHTED. This collection reminded me of Sufi poets a bit, with its melding of sacred joy and the profane, but Gay's poems are so much more grounded in earth and mulberry juice and insects. This had been on my to-read list forever and I enjoyed it so much. Going to be coming back to this one frequently, I bet—especially when I need some non-schmalzy reassurance. Later: I featured this work in an essay on gratitude: https://walkingthewire.substack.com/p/getting-to-gratitude ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude is a sustained meditation on that which goes away-- loved ones, the seasons, the earth as we know it -- that tries to find solace in the processes of the garden and the orchard. No library descriptions found. |
