His poems, his Book of Delights, his Inciting Joy.
If you want your heart to melt (and who doesn't?), cue up the song version of "Catalogue of Unabashed Gratitude" (music by Bon Iver). OOOOoooeeeeeee "lord please give me a minute"

i’m so happy to be prompted to think about poetry! ada limon is one of my favorites, as is marcus amaker (who will be at p&t knitwear next week!), caki wilkinson, and catherine cohen (for poems that make you laugh). billy collins was my poetry gateway drug—we read picnic, lightning in 12th grade and my brain changed forever. but my absolute, all time, desert island writer is ross gay—his poetry is devastating and beautiful and funny and he also writes nonfiction that is really amazing. his book “be holding” is a genius book length poem about a single basketball play by dr. j (i don’t care about sports). happy poem-ing!!!!!!

Dude walked e-v-e-r-y street in NYC over the course of years. Did little increments each day. Wrote about all sorts of random things relating to the city as he went along.
There's a great segment about his obsession with barbershops/salons incorporating the letter "z" into the name of their shop eg Royal Cutz VIP
