Why I Garden
An exuberant, funny, and soulful meditation on the immense pleasures and the inevitable heartaches of gardening by the bestselling essayist and award-winning poet. In Why I Garden, the author of The Book of Delights brings his keen observation and joyful spirit to his own backyard garden where he grows everything from peas, collards and potatoes to goumi, gooseberry and squash. But you don’t have to be a gardener to lose yourself in Ross Gay’s lyrical voice, his humor, and his original way of looking at the world.
