What happens when we study delight? This year’s One Book, One Watertown selection, Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights, invites us to do just that.
The Watertown Free Public Library encourages you to check out The Book of Delights from the Library, and join in themed programs during the month of March. Ross Gay will join the library virtually for "An Evening of Delight" on Tuesday, March 18! Join from home, or join us in the Library with Ross Gay up on the big screen. CART Services and ASL will be provided on Zoom.
About the author: Ross Gay is many things – a New York Times bestselling poet and writer, a winner of prestigious awards, a teacher, a gardener, a skateboarder, a Midwesterner, a partner, a friend, a son, a pick-up basketball player, a loiterer, a lover of high-fives, and a student of delight. In The Book of Delights, he set out to document a delight every day for a turbulent year, and the resulting essays demonstrate how wonderous the ordinary can be, if we pay close attention. Still susceptible to loss and mourning, racism, heartache, and despair, Gay navigates the complexities of daily life with delight as his teacher and invites us to tag along.
