Masculine Happiness

Masculine Happiness is the thoughtful and winning debut collection from the Wales-based poet David Foster-Morgan. Complex, ironic, layered, fashioned with an acute and subtle intelligence, these poems are as likely to reference Elvis as Borges. They are also likely to unsettle the reader with their array of unpredictable and frequently sinister voices and events. Many of the author s formal strategies are modernist: prose and shaped and found pieces are included.
