POETRY MONDAY: Ross Gay

POETRY MONDAY

Ross Gay

The poetry of Ross Gay has drawn much attention lately – and with good reason.  His poems, mostly in the lyric narrative mode, are striking in their energy and compassion.

Born in Ohio, he grew up outside of Philadelphia and has a Ph.D. in American Literature from Temple University. A painter and basketball coach as well as a poet, he teaches at Indiana University and in the new, low-residency MFA program founded by Gerald Stern at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey.  

Here, for reading on our first September Monday, are three poems by Ross Gay.  The first, “Season of Dreams,” is a new, unpublished poem he selected personally for our readers.  The other two are from a book I can’t recommend highly enough, Against Which, published by CavanKerry Press.
