Hejinians characteristic linguistic intensity and philosophical approach are present in this book- length poem. Reading Lyn Hejinians HAPPILY can make one imagine a second, somewhat happier Stein telling stories in single long or short lines that are aware of one another as they go about their own affairs. Bob Perelman HAPPILY...is a series of aphoristic statements interrogating hap or, more prosaically, ones lot in life, ones fortune. This notion of chance as it is expressed through its root form, as in to happen, happenstance, happenings, haphazard, happenchance, happily, and happy happiness, becomes the generator that enlivens this ontological exploration of languages relationship to experience.
