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.

As a nurse, I have spent so much time during this pandemic feeling powerless and unheard, and being included in this anthology is the opposite of that. I am so thankful. - Kristen Taleen Featuring the works of Abi Hunter, A.S. Burrell, Adam Shove, Ahsen Waheed, Amanda Roth, Andrew Palumbo, Ann Garcia, Anna Barnett, Anna K.

Sometimes, big things happen. So big, that we don't even dare name them. We refer to moments instead. The day of. The night before. The morning after. We all hoped that 2021 would be The Year After. But wherever tears and shivers prevail, poetry sweeps in, acting as our tissues and blankets, knitted together by poets from lock downed rooms around the world. We gathered these poems in our Anthology. Together, they form a quilt of virus vignettes. It shows the horripilating nights of healthcare workers and sterile goodbyes via Zoom. It shows being infected, losing your senses, and struggling to breathe. In other words: it shows COVID-19 as it was. With this Anthology, we hope to honour essential workers worldwide. We hope to draw attention to their importance. To their value. To the gruelling scenes they encounter and survive. We hope to give them more than applause - recognition, appreciation, and our gratitude.
