HAPPY EVERYTHING Is Here! Special Offers Inside to Celebrate
Happy pub day to the little book that could.
Happy Everything debuts TODAY!
You can look forward to a new PopPoetry post on Wednesday as promised, but I wanted to drop you all a note to share my first few book tour dates and some news. Thank you for reading!

A special offer for PopPoetry readers: If you order the book and send me a screenshot of your purchase, I’ll mail you a signed bookplate to put in your copy! Use the button below to get started, or email poetrygoespop at gmail dot com.
And here’s some other good news for the day:
To celebrate Happy Everything’s birthday, I’m offering paid PopPoetry subscriptions at 20% for 12 months if you sign up in February 2024!
Praise & Podcasts
I’ve been so touched by the early praise the book has received and by the messages of support I received from readers. Thank you, from the bottom of my everything: your enthusiasm means so much.
PRAISE FOR HAPPY EVERYTHING:
Plathian in its ferocious truth-telling, it refuses to be shushed.
—DIANE SEUSS, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning frank: sonnetsCowan subverts what we think we know about marriage and divorce and the traumas of childhood in a witty, heartbreaking voice all her own… This is a terrific debut!
—DENISE DUHAMEL, author of Second Story
Pulsing with a deft balance of wisdom and righteous rage, the masterful, lyrical, and gut-punching poems of Happy Everything look the staid picture of domestic “happiness” square in the face and say, for all our sakes, “not good enough.”
—JENNY MOLBERG, author of The Court of No Record
I’m so pleased to have been interviewed by Helena de Groot for the Poetry Foundation's Poetry off the Shelf podcast and by Megan Wildhood for the New Books Network podcast, which you can listen to at the links.
Book Tour
I wanted to let you know about my book tour dates, which begin with my launch party at Books & Mortar in Grand Rapids, Michigan:
I’ll be doing several readings, a signing, and sitting on a debut poets panel at the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) conference in Kansas City this week as well if you'll be there and would like to say hello!
Thank You
Thank you so much for reading and for supporting Happy Everything as it ventures into the world. I appreciate your time and hope this shortest month of the year is your happiest yet!
