As always, Gay revels in the natural world--sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor's fig tree--and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Book of (More) Delights\u003c\/i\u003e is a volume to savor and share. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoss Gay\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of the essay collections \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Delights \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Inciting Joy \u003c\/i\u003eand four books of poetry.
