The writer Ross Gay has become synonymous with joy. In his essays and poetry, Gay asks his readers to find delight and gratitude in the most difficult of circumstances and, in the process, he brings his overflowing kindness and relentless eye for details to community gardens, the lives of Black people, the artistry of basketball, and much more.

Ross Gay is a writer with a mission: help readers explore the beautiful complexities of joy, gratitude, and delight. His poetry, in Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude and Be Holding, and his essays, in the The Book of Delights and Inciting Joy, overflow with his unique vision of all the ways we are connected to each other and the natural world.
