How do you give thanks?
Gratitude isn’t something we need to save up for a special holiday. What are you grateful for right now, today?
This anthology brings together a diverse group of poets who express gratitude for everything from a puppy to hot cocoa to the sky itself. Each writer uses a different poetic form, and readers will encounter a concrete poem, a sonnet, a pantoum, a sijo, and much more.
Contributors include Kimberly Blaeser, Sun Yung Shin, Naomi Shihab Nye, Charles Waters, Janice Scully, Jane Yolen, Traci Sorell, JaNay Brown-Wood, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Margarita Engle, and more. Stunning illustrations from Marlena Myles invite close examination, making this a collection to return to and savor again and again.
A portion of the proceeds from this anthology will be donated to We Need Diverse Books.

Nothing to Be Grateful For
by Padma Venkatraman
Indians drew me.
Arabs grew me. Without me,
you’d have no rockets,
no laptops, no phones. Zero:
With me, came a whole new world.
Poetic forms in the book include epistle, Fibonacci, sijo, quatrain, tanka, acrostic, ode, limerick, ballad and more.
