Today’s pick by Usha was The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection & Joy, editd by James Crews with a foreword by Danusha Laméris. This fabulous anthology just arrived in the mail, and I sat reading it when Usha took over, crawling on my lap and leaving no space, knocking the book down unceremoniously. He was made to pose with the book after knocking it down. Because that is polite.

”Crews, a fine poet and teacher, appears to have a Midas touch when it comes to gathering wonderful poems and growing popular anthologies.”

- Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People's Poet Laureate

In our next Soul Bone Literary Festival we’re having an anthology reading of this wonderful anthology with James Crews, Danusha Laméris, Molly Fisk, and Emilie Lygren. Emilie is a student in our MFA program and Molly and Danusha are repeat residency guests..

You can buy the anthology from Abe Books here.
