- Description:
James Crews, editor of the beloved bestselling anthologies How to Love the World and The Path to Kindness, returns with a new gathering of accessible, uplifting poems that celebrate the small moments of beauty and stillness hiding in plain sight.
"Wonder opens our senses and helps us stay in touch with a humbling sense of our own human smallness in the face of unexpected beauty and the delicious mysteries of life on this planet," Crews writes in his introduction — and that spirit of attentive awe animates every page.
The anthology opens with a foreword by Nikita Gill and draws from a wide and diverse range of voices, including Native American poets Joy Harjo, Linda Hogan, Kimberly Blaeser, and Joseph Bruchac, as well as BIPOC writers Ross Gay, Julia Alvarez, and Toi Derricotte. New work from beloved authors — Natalie Goldberg, Mark Nepo, Ted Kooser, Naomi Shihab Nye, Jane Hirshfield, and Jacqueline Suskin among them — sits alongside poems from emerging writers, creating a conversation across generations and traditions.
Reflective pauses woven throughout the collection invite readers to linger, while discussion questions at the back make it a natural choice for book clubs. For anyone seeking a more mindful relationship with daily life — or simply a reason to look up and pay attention — this anthology offers exactly that.
