The series that USA Today called bright, electric, and imaginative continues: Aurora Pavan rises to take her throne in the third installment of the Stormheart series by New York Times bestselling author Cora Carmack. Is Cora Carmack’s most exciting work to date. There’s an essay in Ross Gay’s new collection, Inciting Joy, that begins with a discussion of his favorite sports book, John Edgar Wideman’s Hoop Roots, a memoir told through the author’s lifelong relationship with basketball. Over the next eleven pages, Gay, a longtime hoop lover himself, offers a meditation on the beauty of the pickup game, and how a good court is a microcosm of democracy. “On a pick-up basketball court… aside from what’s fixed (how much a basket counts, what’s out of bounds), there is no fixed law,” he writes. “There is only us, ten of us at a time (depending on the court), assembling and disassembling and reassembling, in perpetual negotiation of the rules, in perpetual common wonder of how we’re going to be together today.” Gay, a 48-year-old poet and professor at Indiana University, has made a career of exploring the wonder to be found in our everyday lives, notably in his bestselling 2019 essay collection, The Book of Delights.

His essays are as lyrical as his poems, and, as the chapter on pick-up basketball makes clear, often begin in the physical world before launching into other dimensions.
