Summary
A collection of gorgeously written and timely pieces in which prize-winning poet and author Ross Gay considers the joy we incite when we care for each other, especially during life's inevitable hardships.
In 'We Kin' he thinks about the garden (especially around August, when the zucchini and tomatoes come on) as a laboratory of mutual aid; in 'Share Your Bucket' he explores skate-boarding's reclamation of public space; he considers the costs of masculinity in 'Grief Suite'; and in 'Through My Tears I Saw,' he recognizes what was healed in caring for his father as he was dying.
In an era when divisive voices take up so much air space, Inciting Joy offers a vital alternative: what might be possible if we turn our attention to what brings us together? Full of energy, curiosity, and compassion, it is essential listening from one of our most brilliant writers.
