Download or read book The Book of More Delights written by Ross Gay and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new 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) Delights is a volume to savor and share.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in 2015, James Benger decided to put a process into place to make his writing more consistent. He made a New Year's resolution to write a poem a day for a year. To help make the resolution stick, he established a closed Facebook group and asked some writers he knew if they were interested. Soon over 200 participants were involved. In 2016 the fruits of this effort were celebrated in the first volume of 365 Days: A Poetry Anthology, which the four editors put together from poems submitted by a small core group of members who wished to participate. Here we are at it again. We hope you enjoy the poems collected here. They are the result of The James Benger System of Consistent Writing, otherwise known as 365 Poems in 365 Days. In 365 Days, Volume 2: A Poetry Anthology 18 poets contribute 76 poems collected by editors Roy Beckemeyer, James Benger, Dan Pohl, and Diane Wahto. Jeanette Powers, author of Perfectly Good Muses, says of 365 Days Volume 2: "The 365 Days poetry project is an illustration of conviction and community coming together and creating something exquisite in both its ambition and content. This online group, writing daily, generates a tremendous amount of creative energy and this anthology displays the grand result. Occasionally infused with the group's comments, the reader is delighted to be included in the fun. Poems, pastoral, micro, narrative, absurd, and intimate, play over the pages in perfect concerto of how a year of one's own life passes: with highs and lows, sighs and bellows." Shawn Pavey, author of Nobody Steals Towels from a Motel 6, says of 365 Says Volume 2: ..".a delightful read full of great moments from established and emerging poets...among the many bright spots in this collection...Paul Koniecki ('Carry the sun in your arms to a safe house / and leave it in an unmade bed of pillows and down, other / minor ceelestial objects, and soft music from a turntable in the / corner of another room')."

Every page is a refreshment. Hats off the editors, for compiling yet another top-shelf collection."-Jason Preu, author and cult leader"With their different styles and themes, these poems by twenty-three different authors are like a salad where vegetables, fruits, and seeds in a variety of colors, shapes and textures come together to create a whole that is larger than the sum of its parts. The poems muse about octopus dreams and bathrooms in paradise, compare artichokes and motherhood, tell stories, recall memories. One of the poems claims "Almost everything/in life could be shorter." Not this book."- Agnes Vojta, author of The Eden of Perhaps (Spartan Press 2020)
