by Eleni Sikelianos (Author)
What does it mean to nature for us to live in our heads, to destroy the world for our happiness?
Using text and images, moving spikily across the page and across ideas in ever-expanding loops, Make Yourself Happy is devoted to one of the oldest and most important human questions: how to live. Humanity, happiness, and the survival of the biosphere spin each section forward, species are wiped out, yet the poem endures.Author Biography
