Description: A New Poem from the Author of The Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude and The Book of Delights
Review Quotes: The brilliant fourth book from Gay, his first since winning the National Book Critics Circle Award with 2015's Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, continues his now-signature inquiry into feeling. Shaped as a single poem in a long sentence of center-justified couplets, the drama of this unfolding sentence is impeccable, a suspension that mirrors its subject: basketball Hall-of-Famer Julius Erving's midair "baseline scoop" in the 1980 NBA finals.... This extraordinary book offers an unforgettable flight from the conventional boundaries of the sentence.-- "Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"
