Underrated, but masterful. submitted by gpapp on July 20, 2022, 4:56pm This book is not as well known as Gay's work on gratitude and delight, but it derserves to be. The book is an epic poem using as its structure a tribute to the basketball prowess of Julius Erving. This is deserved, but in Ross Gay's hands it becomes a metaphor for so much more.Even if you do not care much about basketball, give it a shot, this poem will win you over anyway.
