Like Happiness

Michael Hettich

Poetry. "Michael Hettich's poems are like grace, like gifts, like the natural world made Technicolor, like Technicolor making the natural world. He is a master of the simile, and in Like Happiness, he harnesses a specific and collective memory, the power of myth and allusion, like no one else. His poems give his readers a deep happiness, an earned happiness, a happiness decided upon with clarity and wisdom"--Denise Duhamel.
