Here We Were Happy: Poems

By Cooper Young

Cooper Young's first collection, Here We Were Happy, explores poetry of place-the practice of letting the environment kindle and direct his work. The poems follow journeys across Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Hawaii, and California, gathering what travel leaves behind: stories overheard, meals shared with strangers, and memories of landscapes. The collection captures the beauty and wisdom of the natural world and the human experiences intertwined with it.
