(Sure it didn't.) But what you mostly have here are a lot of poems about paying attention to, and embracing, the world around you, particularly the natural world. Uh, not that that happened to me or anything. You could be reading along happily, smiling at Gay's loving tribute to his next-door neighbor, only to unexpectedly find yourself sobbing. Probably one of the most noteworthy things about Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude is that most of these poems are several pages long, and they often start out being about one thing and then pivot somewhere in the middle, revealing they're actually about something else instead of, or in addition to, what you'd thought they were about.
