Ross Gay gives the kind of performance that demands your attention. Gay, an award-winning poet, originally published this poetry in 2015; this newly recorded audiobook features Gay performing the work. While the entire program is short, the themes are deep and the insights consistently disarming. Everyday observations develop into reflections of love, grief, and the nature of the world. Gay can gently guide you somewhere and then grab you by the arm, jolting you awake. His approach may at first sound like a straightforward recitation, but this is a fully developed performance, and his cadence and rhythm are fitting for a work so deeply human and vulnerable.
