Happiest of official pub days to @lisanikol and her instant bestselling memoir NO ONE CROSSES THE WOLF. Being the lead paragraph in Vanity Fair’s books column seems an appropriate present. ❤️ https://t.co/GpnLdYOK29

The Last Happy Occasion

Alan Shapiro
Erin BelieuErin Belieu

@KelliAgodon @kellydavio Tangentially, do you know Alan Shapiro’s The Last Happy Occasion? It’s hybrid of essays on individual poems w/ memoir about how certain poems deeply affected his life. Does nuanced readings of some great work. Beautiful. And often funny. I teach it in workshops sometimes.
