The Book of Delights: Essays By: Ross Gay [Audiobook]

Author: Ross Gay
Narrated by: Ross Gay

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 Gay’s The Book of Delights is a genre-defying collection of essays – some as short as a paragraph; some as long as five pages – that 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.
