Happy Hour

Paperback - 45 pages
(January 1987), University of Chicago Press (Trd)
Mr. Shapiro writes with apparently equal ease in free verse and more nearly traditional forms, and he brings his formidable technical skills to bear upon matters of great urgency: our need to love and be loved, and the often perverse ways in which we maintain our connections to those closest to us.

Song and Dance: Poems

Hardcover - 80 pages
(February 21, 2002), Houghton Mifflin Company
The poems in this book intimately describe the complicated feelings that attend the catastrophic loss of a loved one, feelings too often ignored in official accounts of grief: horror, relief, impatience, exhaustion, exhilaration, fear, self-criticism, fulfillment. While the occasion for the poems is tragic, the experience of reading them is as complex as the emotions they recreate.
