The Happiest Day of My Life

These are quiet poems, plainspoken. They sit in the back of class, in the last pew at church, and have sly, considered things to say. Bittersweet, self-aware, surreal, and funny, they celebrate the commonplace, tracing the arc of an afternoon, a season, a lifetime, distilling wisdom and its costs along the way. The Happiest Day of My Life is a journey toward perspective. Both memoir and personal Shangri-La, it invites you to spend a few moments of your own day beside its open window.
