![]() ![]() Yes, as the title tells us, the book is a catalog/list of joy and thanks that will not be ashamed to burst forth. It is a poem of joy, yes, but people often forget that you wrote Drum-Taps and that “what is removed drops horribly in the pail.” Not so much Ross Gay. I say this after having read Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude by Ross Gay, a book that could only have been written in a world where you, dear Walt, continue to thrive in the poetic imagination.Īll of your signature components have been passed down to and adapted by Gay-your long breath line is there, your ecstasy, your rapture and wonder. I’m writing to assure you that your poetic voice and perspective are alive and well in American verse of the 21st century. Review | Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, Ross Gay ![]()
