Inciting Joy by poet and essayist Ross Gay explores incitements to experiencing #joy in topics from #skateboarding to #gardening to pop music to pick-up #basketball to creating a community orchard—a lot of life, some grieving, plenty of #humor, plus social commentary all mashed up in joyful observations. These thoughtful, thought-provoking essays are a thoroughly enjoyable read.
