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.

George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Every life experience you have ever faced—no matter how traumatic—was necessary for your growth, physically, spiritually and mentally. Every encounter you have had and every decision you have made up to this moment has already been accounted for in the script of your life. Where you are at this exact moment in time is where you are supposed to be. What you are doing or have done leading to this moment in time is exactly what you were supposed to do. Predestined in My Purpose explores the idea that every encounter we have leads us one step closer to our greater cause or purpose. When faced with the negative energy floating around in the universe, how do we replace the negative with the good? How do we cope with our traumatic life experiences? How do we as a society begin the healing process? Asking forgiveness of others, forgiving others, and forgiving ourselves can change our perspective. It can lead to healing not only in ourselves but also in the world as a whole. Adversity builds our character, strengthens us, and brings us to our expected endings, the ones written from before our birth. No matter what issues we face in life, we are all predestined to WIN. Uplifting and encouraging, this guide demonstrates the way in which all our experiences contribute to helping us grow and bringing us to our destined purpose.
