In a gloriously exuberant anthology, Wendy Cope sets out to prove that misery doesn't have all the best lines. What makes us happy? In her introduction the editor says of the subject-matter of these poems: 'A lot of them are about love - of lovers, spouses, children. There are also poems about places, the beauty of the natural world and the changing seasons, about company and solitude, about music, books, food and drink, and the pleasure of taking a shower. And there are some religious poems.' Among the more surprising items are the Chinese Po Chu-l on the advantages of baldness, the eighteenth-century John Dyer on the kindly behaviour of his ox, and an unusually cheerful Thomas Hardy enjoying the sight of seven women laughing as they stagger, arm in arm, down an icy hill, Catullus, Chaucer, Clare, Dickinson, Betjeman and Larkin are among the contributors who help to demonstrate that people who believe that 'happiness writes white' have got it wrong.
Poetry is the perfect medium to capture the elusive nature of happiness and this beautiful anthology explores happiness in all its forms – whether it be a fleeting moment, the promise of freedom and adventure, surviving adversity or the comfort of nature.

Analysis of Lord Byron's Poem Well! Thou Art Happy by Sarah Ruhnau Pdf
Essay from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Englisches Seminar), course: Romantic Poetry, language: English, abstract: In the following essay I would like to analyse one of Lord Byron's earlier poems, namely "Well! Thou art happy" which was written in November 1808 and thus belongs to the epoch of romanticism. The poem involves a poetic speaker who laments a love relationship to a woman that has come to an end. In his sadness, he is torn between the love he still feels and the jealousy that occurs inside of him when he is concerned with his beloved's husband or their child. However, he is aware of the fact that it is necessary for him to get over the end of the relationship. As mentioned above, "Well! Thou art happy" belongs to Byron's early po-ems as it was written in 1808 and in general, Byron's poems written before 1809 are consid-ered as early poems (cf. Marchand, 15). Apart from that the poem itself includes some hints which point out its early stage. In line 22 the poetic speaker talks about his "boyish flame" and in line 33 he describes his "early dream" (cf. Byron, 83). Hence, the poetic speaker seems to be a fairly young man who is not very experienced yet. This suits the typical characteristic of Byron's early poems. Marchand calls it a "juvenile verse" that describes "youthful inno-cence" as well as "the fictions of flimsy romance" (cf. Marchand, 15 f.). Before I will begin to analyse the poem, I will start with a subchapter about its formal part.

Ernest Hemingway never wished to be widely known as a poet. He concentrated on writing short stories and novels, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1956. But his poetry deserves close attention, if only because it is so revealing. Through verse he expressed anger and disgust—at Dorothy Parker and Edmund Wilson, among others. He parodied the poems and sensibilities of Rudyard Kipling, Joyce Kilmer, Robert Graves, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Gertrude Stein. He recast parts of poems by the likes of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, giving them his own twist. And he invested these poems with the preoccupations of his novels: sex and desire, battle and aftermath, cats, gin, and bullfights. Nowhere is his delight in drubbing snobs and overrefined writers more apparent. In this revised edition of the Complete Poems, the editor, Nicholas Gerogiannis, offers here an afterword assessing the influence of the collection, first published in 1979, and an updated bibliography. Readers will be particularly interested in the addition of "Critical Intelligence," a poem written soon after Hemingway's divorce from his first wife in 1927. Also available as a Bison Book: Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny by Mark Spilka.

American Happiness is an eclectic collection of verse from a bold poet of everyday life, Jacqueline Allen Trimble. Ironically titled, the work addresses everything from the death of parents to racial tension to the encroachment of coyotes into urban spaces. The title is taken from a poem in the book which considers the kinder, gentler exploits of Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barney during a time when Southern law enforcement was neither universally kind or gentle. Says Trimble, “Barney had one bullet/and no need for a rope./The only burning he did was for his Thelma Lou.” On her poetic journey, which takes us from the personal to the political, Trimble probes our racial divide. She is by turns compassionate and fierce, cutting at our hypocrisy with the knife of her words and willing us toward our better common humanity.
