Book - The Wonder of Small Things

A little more wonder for ordinary days

The Wonder of Small Things, edited by James Crews, is a poetry anthology about noticing the quiet moments that make life feel meaningful. A slant of light, a bird at the feeder, or a fleeting pause can become a source of connection when we take the time to see it.
