The Book of (More) Delights by Ross Gay
Ross talks about delights in an interview on the show Living On Earth: The reason that I write, as I sometimes think these days, is to unknow myself. I want to write with a kind of wonder that makes what I thought I had thought a little bit shaky. Thinking about what you love is one of the ways to do that, to think as powerfully, as closely, as sort of intensely about something. Ideally, for me, I'll come to know that whatever it is that I'm thinking about differently.

"Every work of art is a child of its time, while often it is the parent of our emotions."
