In Christopher Howell's twelfth collection of poems, his gifts for
elegy, humor, and lyricism are on full display. The Grief of a
Happy Life explores the interplay between memory and imagination,
celebrating the ways that happiness and grief inform one another
and give our lives fullness and vitality. Arranged in four
sections, Howell's poems feature not only these concerns, but a
large and various cast of characters as well. Aeneas, Saint
Theresa, Ovid, Kierkegaard, a German submarine, and so much more
are woven together with Howell's trademark precision and
accessibility into exquisite tableaux, each providing a view of
both what we must live with and what we must not live without.
