Let's Do Our Best to Enjoy It, by Joseph Edwin Haeger

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Let’s Do Our Best to Enjoy It cracks open the concept of time and attempts to pull apart the fallibility of this man-made construct, exploring the little moments we tend to let pass by. Haeger focuses in on this while asking the simple question: why? This is a collection that wants you to discover how life is nothing more than a series of moments strung together, making a composite of something meaningful. From the personal to the cosmic, these poems feel for the edges of reality and discover what it means to make authentic connections with the people we journey alongside. Imbuing a sense of melancholy in his writing, Haeger digs in to reveal the small beauties in our everyday lives. Joseph Edwin Haeger is the author of the speculative novel Stings (Anxiety Press), the brisk crime novella Bardo (Thirty West Publishing House), and the experimental memoir Learn to Swim (University of Hell Press). His work has appeared at HAD, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Drunk Monkeys, and others. As a litmus test, he tells people his favorite movie is Face/Off, but there’s a part of him that’s afraid it’s true. He lives in Spokane, WA.
