Expansive - One Long Run on Sentence
I am slowly (in a savoring sort of way) working my way through Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights and a few days ago I came to this amazing and epic run-on sentence (201 words btw) that was part of his r...

"In the Night Sky Petunia’s depth,
I see supernovae frozen mid-burst—
each white speck a distant sun
winking at my mortal hands
that dare to water infinity." Ross Gay (2015)

I used these anthologies of contemporary poets as a book group. Crews makes it easy with group questions at the end and individual journaling ones sprinkled in. #poetry #poems #jamescrews #nikitagill #rosemarywahtolateommer #amandagorman #joyharjo #rossgay so many more

Ross Gay offers a blueprint for delight and craft for Abby Manzella and her nonfiction class at Truman State University in this fall's issue of Assay.

Read Manzella’s thoughts at the link below:

#AssayJournal #AssayPedagogy #CNF #Nonfiction #RossGay #AbbyManzella #CraftTalk
A smiling white woman (Abby Manzella) with long hair and glasses is pictured in the lower right corner of the picture, with a quote from her article on the left. The quote reads, "We’ve also discussed the powerful distillation of language and ideas in flash… in Gay's "Hole in the Head” his seemingly small pleasure of hearing the titular vernacular phrase eventually becomes both the symbolic and literal topic of the piece. This wandering linguistic association creates a sense of movement that is meditative/assaying as well as lyric. This analysis adds to the class’s growing understanding that there is more than one way to tell their stories—that creative nonfiction isn’t just about moving from point A to point B or sharing what happened.

Gearing up to teach #RossGay ‘s book length poem beholding and talk about artists who make through a deep sense of time.
I love this book. Hoping to avoid getting dusty-eyed in the lecture.

Two nights ago, I finally watched the #TorontoPublicLibrary crowdcast intvw of #RossGay by #CheleneKnight.

So impressed: a natural and meaningful conversation over the course of an hour, great takeaways, and an abundance of inspiration. Still thinking about it!
