The Book of (More) Delights

Author: Ross Gay
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1643755471
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 250

Book Description
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.

Category : Juvenile Fiction

Pages : 23

Book Description
Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world. Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work—but not Lulu’s papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There’s an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home—tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. Christy Ottaviano Books

To Those I Love sharing What I Believe

Author: Larry V. Murphy
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1257782649
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 45

Book Description
This little book is a brief summary of the author's more prevalent spiritual beliefs and understandings. The views shared are presented as quite generous comparisons to some spiritual views of the major religions of the world, actually, and within the spirit of true tolerance. Though the author is passionate and often affirmative in his own beliefs, he makes every effort to steer clear of rigid dogma. In fact, the book was written largely as an offering of reason, the best way to counter the religious dogma already present in the world. The author does not wish to open more doors for arguing and fighting; rather, he thinks there is much common ground where spiritual views can be jointly shared by all in unity and universal Oneness. Though the author recognizes that humankind often displays great difficulty in reaching common ground for its greatest passions, the author also hopes this book will open dialog toward that end.
