The Alchemy of Happiness

The Alchemy of Happiness Book Description

In her new volume of verse, Bowering continues her rigorous, ambitious path and delivers poems that blend a variety of personalities, times, and places that add up to an overall substance she sees as happiness. Like an alchemist of old, she transmutes experiences, perceptions, and perspectives into something richer and rarer despite the passage of years and the loss and death they have brought. Much of this startling new book takes the form of a calendar, and it is time that presides throughout, perhaps bringing hope, even happiness, as seen in "December": "Death is of no consequence, /because there is eternity."
