Book Synopsis
Winner of the 2016 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize The poems in Let's All Die Happy explore apostasy, concerned with what happens after the beliefs and institutions which promised fulfillment leave us empty instead. Darkly humorous, the collection examines a patriarchal culture in which women are defined through their relationship to others.

Trade Review
What's most impressive in this powerful book is the female speaker's voice - it's striking because what it says is often unexpected, surprising, and exactly right."" - Ed Ochester, judge

""Here in Let's All Die Happy we encounter a voice that is insightful, confident, and deliciously specific. In poems of dark domesticity, this book speaks to both the anchoring and erasure that come with mothering: Some weeks/ no one says my first name, no one's/ tongue flicks the last letter out.' It's a remarkable debut."" - Maggie Smith
