Out of stock
Description
Poems are a path to connection. Simple gestures of kindness can make our day, open our hearts, change our minds, and brighten our world–especially in times of uncertainty.
Here, more than one hundred poets celebrate small moments that allow us to surrender more fully to joy and create communities of uplift. This collection of well-loved and emerging North American voices features Julia Alvarez, Marie Howe, Ellen Bass, Naomi Shihab Nye, Alberto RÃos, Ross Gay, and Ada Limón along with Black writers such as January Gill O'Neil, Tracy K. Smith, and Cornelius Eady; Native American writers Kimberly Blaeser, Joy Harjo (current U.S. Poet Laureate), and Linda Hogan; and Canadian poets Lorna Crozier and Susan Musgrave.
Presented in the same perfect-in-the-hand format as How to Love the World, the collection includes prompts for journaling and exploration of selected poems, a book group guide, bios of all the contributing poets, and stunning cover art by award-winning artist Dinara Mirtalipova. A foreword by Danusha Laméris, along with her popular poem "Small Kindnesses," is also included.
