National Book Award Finalist • Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry • Winner of the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award "Ross Gay reaches again and again toward stating what's beautiful, what's sweet, what's most emotionally moving to him: he is genuinely 'unabashed.' He is definitely interested in the sentimental, but the poems don't feel remotely treacly.... They feel bold and wild and weird." -American Poetry Review
