This book captures many different desires, from wanting solitude and how that’s a proxy for the desire where we all have what we need (“When I Imagine the Life I Want” by Larissa Pham) to wanting to live respectfully and reciprocally with other beings (Desire in the City of Subdued Excitement” by Rena Priest).

I recommend that you read this for a snapshot of many kinds of desire.
