The Makings of Happiness (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Wallace's poems cover the range of human experience: music, religion, sex, art, childhood, adolescence, nuclear war, illness, and death. But it's in his wit and good humor, against undercurrents of sorrow and grief that best characterize his poetry: part Emily Dickinson, and part Harpo Marx; part Woody Allen, and part Robert Frost.
