“Ross Gay gives the kind of performance that demands your attention…While the entire program is short, the themes are deep and the insights consistently disarming…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.”

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.
