OF COURSE ROSS GAY HAS BEANS IN HIS POCKETS!!! What a jolly, gentle, Mary Oliver-loving giant. Sigh. I might need to listen to this book. Also, that Rebecca! She’s a keeper. ❤️

I think you might need to!! For the Ross Gay moments alone. The man has beans in his pockets!! Literal beans!! and he is just so tickled about it. And yeah I am stupidly lucky :)

CANNOT LIKE THIS HARD ENOUGH. Those moments you mentioned from the book. Yes. I will never forget that Machado story either. And the cigarettes! And Percy! Ahhh. Thank you for this beautiful reflection on this book I love so much.
