In April we are reading a New York Times bestselling book of essays celebrating ordinary delights in the world around us by award-winning poet Ross Gay. The Book of Delights offers up a genre-defying volume of lyric essays written over one tumultuous year, addressing our shared bonds, and the rewards that come from a life closely observed. These remarkable pieces serve as a powerful and necessary reminder that we can, and should, stake out a space in our lives for delight.

The book is available at Kepler's Books in Menlo Park. Mention the Smith Peninsula Book Club to receive a discount for this book.
