Happy Rock

The characters in these quirky intelligent stories hoist the banner of solitude and misfit wit from the vast remote recesses of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.Young lovers discern self-revealing events in celestial skies. A man recounts his affectionate history with his 200-lbs mastiff, named Father. Tired workers nurse their hangovers before a loud local bar serves up contemplations of a brother’s tour in Iraq. Happy Rock brushes the dust and snow from the micro-verses of small towns and strange lives surrounded by the great outside.

Matthew Simmons lives in Seattle, WA. He works at the University Book Store, is the author of the novella A Jello Horse, and has been published in numerous print and online journals. He is the interviews editor for the journal Hobart, a frequent contributor to HTMLGIANT, and blogs as The Man Who Couldn't Blog.
