ROSS GAY‘s new collection of genre-defying essays, The Book of (More) Delights: Essays, continues his ongoing investigation of joy. For Gay, what makes us happy is what connects us and gives us meaning. It might be hearing an old song blasting from a passing car, the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, or his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. Joining Ross in conversation is award-winning author and poetry editor of the Harvard Review, MAJOR JACKSON.
