What does it mean to be vulnerable and defiant at the same time In Deeply Grateful & Entirely Unsatisfied, Amanda Happe investigates this question through a series of marker drawings featuring striking colour fields and quirky hand-lettered sentiments. Organised into chapters with titles like 'Life Loves Tough Love,' 'Who We Should Be,' and 'You Have a Limited Amount of Time During Which to Become an Unrelenting Beam of Light,' each section opens with a short essay and houses a series of illustrations that speak to the chapter's theme. Happe's idiosyncratic way of looking at the world honest, vulnerable, encouraging, brave, and often very funny makes this a uniquely giftable volume perfect for millennials, graduates, loved ones, and seekers.
