Inciting Joy by poet and essayist Ross Gay explores incitements to experiencing #joy in topics from #skateboarding to #gardening to pop music to pick-up #basketball to creating a community orchard—a lot of life, some grieving, plenty of #humor, plus social commentary all mashed up in joyful observations. These thoughtful, thought-provoking essays are a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The memoir “Prophet's Daughter” recounts life as the daughter of charismatic founders of the #ChurchUniversalandTriumphant, often labeled as a “cult.” After being groomed to lead the church, Erin Prophet left the community. She reflects on her upbringing and her role in the church’s controversies. The community borders #YellowstoneNationalPark, and the park figures prominently in their sacred geography.

Recently, I reviewed for Le Monde a wonderful book, written by Hampton Sides. I remember meeting him a few years ago when "In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette" was translated and publish in France. His latest "The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook" is as great. For those who loved "Madness at the End of Earth" from Julian Sancton and "The Wager" from David Gann, I deeply recommend #TheWideWideSea #HamptonSides #Surlavastevastemer #books #BooksWorthReading #bookstodon #livres #hawaii #jamescook

One of my favorite #books is The Singing Creek Where the Willows Grow by Opal Whitely. This child’s #diary amazed me. We see the world of her neighbors and her animal companions through a child’s lens. I also love her language. From the opening paragraph, when she explains, “I found the near woods first day I did go explores,” you realize Whitley interprets her world through an odd, childish #syntax. I found it refreshing.
