Through poetry, the silence of Trappist monks, the pandemic moment, the Wright brothers' quirky stab at flight, treasured knickknacks, and more, this book celebrates the weird, the mundane, the overlooked, and the promise of a future. Though each essay is distinct, foraging fresh ways into Louise Glück, W. H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, Sylvia Plath, John Berryman, Langston Hughes, and more, they are all connected through the thread of Emily Dickinson's comment that her fate was to \"sing, as a Boy does by the Burying Ground . . .\" Even in times filled with horror, we find beauty.
