Gratitude is that most remarkable of human emotions, a celebration of joy at once exuberant and reflective. At once a personal meditation of what it means to be grateful as well as a generous, essential collection of more than fifty graces, poems and praise songs, spanning centuries, ranging across many cultures and reflecting a polyphony of voices. The whole is illuminated by Pamela Dalton's meticulously layered and keenly observed renderings of the world around us.
