Description

Happiness is the debut collection from Jack Underwood, a bright and beguiling exploration of life's strangeness. These poems worry at the world, surreally confronting us with the 'reservoir of wrongheaded questions' that love and death pose.

In this inventive and empathetic collection, visualization becomes an act of sharing our deepest fears and forgotten things. The poems delve into the ephemerality of happiness itself, at the ever-present possibility of its departure, and the ways we try to grasp and keep hold of it. With a tone that is both self-aware and sad, yet daring and funny, this is an accomplished debut from a distinct new voice.
