Enter James Parker, who for years now has been writing odes of appreciation on subjects from the seemingly minor ("Ode to Naps") to the unexpected ("Ode to Giving People Money") to the seemingly minor, unexpected, and hyperspecific ("Ode to Running in Movies"). Finally collecting Parker's beloved and much-lauded odes in one place, this volume demonstrates the profound power of the form. Each ode is an exercise in gratitude. Each celebrates the permanent susceptibility of everyday humdrum life to dazzling saturations of divine light: the squirrel in the street, the crying baby, the misplaced cup of tea. Parker's odes are songs of praise, but with a decent amount of complaining in there, too: a human ratio of moans. Varied in length but unified in tone, mostly in prose, sometimes toppling into verse, the odes range across music, movies, literature, psychology, and beyond, all through the lens of Parker's personal history. Gathered together, they form an accidental how-to guide to honoring your own experience-and to finding your own odes."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) 650 0 $a Gratitude. 650 6 $a Gratitude. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0088649 655 7 $a Lyric poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Self-help publications. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie lyrique. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000487 655 7 $a Livres de croissance personnelle. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000312616 941 $a 5 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240802015736.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20240704010703.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031801.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240702010914.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240604014541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95443728223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
