Surprised by Joy - Bog

- A Wising Up Anthology

Bag om Surprised by Joy

SURPRISED BY JOY, A Wising Up Anthology Editors: Charles D. Brockett and Heather Tosteson JOY. It's out of our control-unpredictable, illogical, transitory, all-consuming. It can shatter our most basic assumptions. It can heal. It isn't an idea. It is far more than a body state. It can come to us at the strangest times-in the depths of despair or the height of frustration, when we're most lonely or when we're most fully embraced, or just absently mindedly staring off into space. It is transforming, but it does not take us out of ourselves or our situations. It is, in itself, an answer that gives birth to very different questions, ones we may not have known how to ask-about the real, but unpredictable, good in us and the world around us. But it is easy in times of tumult and anger to forget that this experience of joy-and what flows from it-may be more lasting than our outrage. In this anthology forty-three contemporary writers help us explore, through fiction, poetry, and memoir, how experiences of joy help shape us and our relationship with the world around us.

Beskrivelse af Surprised by Joy

SURPRISED BY JOY, A Wising Up Anthology Editors: Charles D. Brockett and Heather Tosteson
JOY. It's out of our control-unpredictable, illogical, transitory, all-consuming. It can shatter our most basic assumptions. It can heal. It isn't an idea. It is far more than a body state. It can come to us at the strangest times-in the depths of despair or the height of frustration, when we're most lonely or when we're most fully embraced, or just absently mindedly staring off into space. It is transforming, but it does not take us out of ourselves or our situations. It is, in itself, an answer that gives birth to very different questions, ones we may not have known how to ask-about the real, but unpredictable, good in us and the world around us. But it is easy in times of tumult and anger to forget that this experience of joy-and what flows from it-may be more lasting than our outrage. In this anthology forty-three contemporary writers help us explore, through fiction, poetry, and memoir, how experiences of joy help shape us and our relationship with the world around us.
