Prompted By Happiness

Born out of the intention to write a poem a day for a year, Elizabeth Zetlin's newest book Prompted by Happiness uses poems and prompts as jumping off points in the crafting of each poem included in this collection. Following the narrative of the year, the poems seem to ebb and flow the way the mind moves, never settling on one emotion directly. There is really no closure, just a guided meditation on the small moments of sorrow, joy, and happiness that make up a year. Deep, poignant, and timeless, Prompted by Happiness will bring the reader into a deeper understanding of themselves through Elizabeth's quiet contemplations of mood and moment.
