Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude - Ross Gay Vert: Poems - Catherine Staples You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World - Ada Limon, ed.

Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude is a sustained meditation on that which goes away--loved ones, the seasons, the earth as we know it--that tries to find solace in the processes of the garden and the orchard. That is, this is a book that studies the wisdom of the garden and orchard, those places where all--death, sorrow, loss--is converted into what might, with patience, nourish us. Ross Gay is the winner of the 2026 Henry David Thoreau Prize for Literary Excellence in Nature Writing. University of Pittsburgh Press, 2015. Paperback, 112 pp.

 		Vert is an old word that, in English forest law, means "everything that grows and forms a green leaf, serving as cover for deer." Like Henry Thoreau, New England poet Catherine Staples lost her brother. Both survivors found their way by tuning ear, eye, and stride to "the living earth," a new way of seeing things. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the title page.
