Synopsis
The winner of the NBCC Award for Poetry offers up a spirited collection of short lyric essays, written daily over a tumultuous year, reminding us
of the purpose and pleasure of praising, extolling, and celebrating ordinary wonders. Ross Gays The Book of Delights is a genre-defying book of essays
some as short as a paragraph; some as long as five pagesthat record the small joys that occurred in one year, from birthday to birthday, and that we often
overlook in our busy lives. His is a meditation on delight that takes a clear-eyed view of the complexities, even the terrors, in his life, including living in America
as a black man; the ecological and psychic violence of our consumer culture; the loss of those he loves.
