The Wonder of Small Things: Poems of Peace and Renewal

A New England Book Award Winner.
USA Today Best Seller.

As James Crews writes in the introduction: "Wonder opens our senses and helps us stay in touch with a humbling sense of our own human smallness in the face of unexpected beauty and the delicious mysteries of life on this planet." 

Readers are guided in exploring the meaning and essence of the poems through a series of reflective pauses scattered throughout. This anthology offers the perfect intersection for the growing number of readers interested in mindful living and bringing poetry into their everyday lives. 

The anthology features a foreword by Nikita Gill and a carefully curated selection of poems from a diverse range of authors, including Native American poets, Joy Harjo, Linda Hogan, Kimberly Blaeser, and Joseph Bruchac, and BIPOC writers Ross Gay, Julia Alvarez, and Toi Derricotte. Crews features new poems from popular writers such as Natalie Goldberg, Mark Nepo, Ted Kooser, Naomi Shihab Nye, Jane Hirshfield, and Jacqueline Suskin, along with selections from emerging poets.
