Angela Hume considers the persistent instructions to smile, be quiet, and act happy, all administered with the promise that this forced behavior would make everything better. The poems address rigid social norms and, ultimately, walk through the uncomfortable realizations about the bigger systems at play and call on us to examine our own complicity in them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngela Hume \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eMiddle Time\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Omnidawn.
