With the sort of smart, persuasive voice  associated with Simon Armitage and Michael Donaghy, these poems worry at  the world in search of consolation, or else meet life's absurdity and  strangeness half-way; whether sitting proudly atop an unexploded bomb,  or injecting blood under the skin of a banana, playfulness and  imagination are vehicles for confronting 'the fearful and forgotten  things I've lied to myself about'. Here are poems which address anxiety  about fatherhood, remorse for lost lovers and friends, or mourn for a  miscarried sibling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHappiness\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection  preoccupied with 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. 'Every single thought I'm having is about LOVE',  here meaning both the pleasure and panic of love, its peculiarity; love  as a feeling of risk, love for one's own body, familiar yet estranged,  of 'cack-handed LOVE at his console', love like 'pausing to move a snail  somewhere safer in the rain'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114308419824,"sku":"9780571313624","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571313624_p0.jpg?v=1763719095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571313624","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
