The Evanston Public Library will celebrate “A Year of Joy and Gratitude” by exploring the themes in Ross Gay’s Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude. In addition to poetry workshops and reading, EPL will curate unique programs, such as gardening, birding, and fabric arts, that encourage active engagement in this poetry and builds greater connections to where we live, our land and nature, and ourselves.
