Let's All Die Happy

The poems in <i>Lets All Die Happy</i> explore apostasy, concerned with what happens after the beliefs and institutions which promised fulfillment leave us empty instead. Through a darkly humorous lens, it also examines a patriarchal culture in which women are defined through their relationship to others and how this inheritance weighs heavily not only on the lives we lead but shapes what life it is possible to even imagine having. Ultimately, the poems push against these containers, burning through the stages of a womans life until theres nothing left but to invent whats next, finding both loneliness and liberation in this reclamation.
