So I slept in the berthas the train chuffed on, unburdenedby wakings cold water, ignorantof pain, estrangement, hunger andthe crucial fuel the boiler burnedto keep the minutes pistons churningwhile I slept. Forgive me.That Kind of Happy, the long-awaited second collection by award-winning poet Maggie Dietz, explores the sharp, profound tension between a disquieted inner life and quotidian experience. Central to the book are poems that take up two major life events: becoming a mother and losing a father within a short stretch of time. Here, at the intersection of joy and grief, of persistence and attrition, Dietz wrestles with the questions posed by such conflicting experiences, revealing a mind suspicious of quick fixes and dissatisfied with easy answers. The result is a book as anguished as it is distinguished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51677873701152,"sku":"NEW022634939X","price":15.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71-P_JPBDtL.jpg?v=1779298929","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/that-kind-of-happy-phoenix-poets-022634939x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
