<p><strong>A timely collection of new and previously published work by one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed poets, <i>How to Be Happy Though Human </i>introduces Kate Camp’s eclectic and musical poetry to international audiences for the first time.</strong></p><p><i>How to Be Happy Though Human: New and Selected Poems</i> is Kate Camp’s seventh book of poetry and the first to be published outside New Zealand. Incorporating a grouping of new, previously unpublished work and a selection of important poems from her six earlier collections, this volume introduces North American readers to poetry that has been described by critics as “fearless,” “mesmerizing,” and “containing a surprising radicalism and power.”</p><p>Camp’s work is recognized for its wide-ranging and eclectic subject matter, its technical control, and its musicality, with pop culture, high culture, the domestic confessional, close observation, and found language featured as recurring elements of style.</p><p>A timely retrospective that represents a new chapter in Camp’s career, <i>How to Be Happy Though Human</i> promises to gain a wide readership for this thoughtful, engaging, and popular writer.</p>
