One hundred of the most evocative modern poems on joy, selected by an award-winning contemporary poet

Christian Wiman, a poet known for his meditations on mortality, has long been fascinated by joy and by its relative absence in modern literature. Why is joy so resistant to language? How has it become so suspect in our times? Manipulated by advertisers, religious leaders, and politicians, joy can seem disquieting, even offensive. How does one speak of joy amid such ubiquitous injustice and suffering in the world?

In this revelatory anthology, Wiman takes readers on a profound and surprising journey through some of the most underexplored terrain in contemporary life. Rather than define joy for readers, he wants them to experience it. Ranging from Emily Dickinson to Mahmoud Darwish and from Sylvia Plath to Wendell Berry, he brings together diverse and provocative works as a kind of counter to the old, modernist maxim "light writes white"--no agony, no art. His rich selections awaken us to the essential role joy plays in human life.

Clean & classy look, but make sure you buy a size bigger because it runs small.
Color: A-black, Size: 4X-Large
As for sizing, make sure you buy a size up because it runs kinda small, (you’ll thank me!). Quality is good, but the best feature-it has a dress collar polo with some color around the neck and buttons, which gives it a clean and classy look, (which I’m a fan of), the comfort of the polo is about average. I absolutely recommend!

Nice shirt
Color: A-royal Blue, Size: X-Large
This is a decent shirt. It feels nice against the skin and fits like it should. It feels a little cheap, but that could be because it’s thin. Kept me comfortable in Florida heat and humidity!
