  Amid the stately arches of a centuries-old New England campus, a quietly unassuming but brilliant poetry professor delivers the most important lecture of his life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness and determined to leave something lasting behind, he reveals long-guarded secrets gleaned from an extraordinary upbringing among rare books and eccentric mentors in Hay-on-Wye, Wales. 
  From ancient manuscripts to hidden scribbles, his words come alive in stories of resilience and love, hope and loss, culminating in a simple yet profound “Happiness Formula.” Guided by three transformative attitudes—Passion, Tempo, and Awareness—and built upon the pillars of Love, Balance, and Values, his teachings illuminate a path toward genuine, enduring joy. 
  In this poignant fictional account, his son—author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II—pieces together the professor’s final poetry class of 2017, weaving in firsthand testimonies from entranced students and precious archives rescued from near destruction. Their vivid recollections form a testament to life’s fragile beauty and the power of a well-lived day. 
  Enter The Happiness Triangle, the first volume of The Equilibrist Series: a heartfelt tale of a teacher racing against time to bestow a timeless gift. Rich with poetry, philosophical insight, and a dash of romance, this novel reminds us that real magic resides not in lofty ambitions or chance events, but in the everyday moments where we dare to live fully, love boundlessly—and discover happiness for ourselves.

  [squelch procedures]

  In [SQUELCH PROCEDURES], MLA Chernoff contemplates the ways that trauma, poverty, and strict gender norms rupture the concept of childhood. The tension of multiple meanings in the word “squelch” acts as a guide to Chernoff’s unique voice, which uses language to swaddle intrusive thoughts and mimic defense mechanisms such as avoidance, depersonalization, and derealization. [SQUELCH PROCEDURES] is an ambitious attempt to show how healing and regression are often indistinguishable, while the past is always predisposed to happen more than once: first as tragedy, then as farce.

  The Underlook

  The Underlook balances precariously between the real and the surreal. Informed by experiences of physical disability, surgery, and medical trauma, this collection articulates a life lived under the bed, at the bottom of a well, in the glances exchanged between doctors. The poems revel in the uncanny and in the power of ignored or repressed spaces, summoning us under to 'listen … crouch down … press [a] hand against the white gloss shuddering'.
