Earlier this year, The Porch celebrated its 10th anniversary with an event called DELIGHT. These annual fundraisers tend to have well-known authors speak — like Ada Limón, Kiese Laymon and Danté Stewart. This year’s event was my favorite one yet, featuring a conversation between poet and essayist Ross Gay and poet Tiana Clark at Green Door Gourmet. Gay’s books on delight changed the way I look at everyday life, nature and my community. I never imagined I’d get to hear him speak in such an intimate setting. Hearing two artists of this caliber talk about their work and their creativity was, in fact, a delight.
