6/24/24 Odes by James Parker
24/06/2024 Duración: 48minJames Parker talks about his book "Get me thru the next five minutes: Odes to being alive." Parker, a staff writer at THE ATLANTIC, was approached by his editors and asked to create some sort of monthly feature that would appear on the inside back cover. He ultimately began writing a series of odes - poems or essays in praise of something or somebody. What sets his odes apart is that most of them are written in praise of unlikely things such as Procrastination ..... Difficult People ..... Crying Babies. The book is an entertaining and thought-provoking exercise in broadening one's sense of gratitude.
