Inciting Joy

“I adore Ross Gay, his writing hits me squarely in my urban garden heart. I went to hear him speak and someone asked about how he juxtaposes humor and grief in one sentence, and he said something like it is joy carrying each other’s sorrows. And life is devastating. He also said teaching is how to notice things, and I could not agree more as a teacher. Please read! And feel your soul be replenished and affirmed. And get a few cackles in, too.”
