About \; No Sense in Wishing by Lawrence Burney:
\n
"We are thrilled to have you join Mar yland Humanities for the nineteenth year of One Maryland One Book\, Maryla nd&rsquo\;s largest reading and discussion program. Since 2008\, OMOB has brought together thousands of readers across the state to explore a specif ic work of literature through discussions at book clubs\, libraries\, coll eges\, museums\, and more.
\n
L iterature has the power to delight\, inform\, and connect us. The OMOB is selected by a committee of distinguished members of Maryland&rsquo\;s lite rary community. We hope this connects \;you \;to parts of \;yo ur \;community in a new way.
\n
No Sense in Wishing \;is a personal and analytical essay collection that aptly captures this year&rsquo\;s theme of \;Revoluti on\, Reaction\, Reform. \;Taking cue from Burney&rsquo\;s career as a culture writer and critic\, \;No Sense in Wishing \;uses that lens to look at his home city of Baltimore\, music from throughout the global Black diaspora\, and the traditions that raised him\, offering perspective on the people\, places\, music\, and art that transformed him."
