Monetized Happiness is a poetry collection that shows economic disparity, homelessness, parenthood, and urban living in Oakland and San Francisco, California. American happiness is monetized.

“To my mind, Monetized Happiness is Keith Gaboury’s best book yet, a poetic opera to Oakland and San Francisco.”
Richard Loranger, author of Mammal and Unit of Agency
"Still Human is a boundary-defying romp—visceral, surreal, full of animals and erasures, personified body parts, and gritty confessions."
Hollie Hardy, author of Lions Like Us and How to Take a Bullet and Other Survival Poems
"Gaboury’s ambitious, lofty poems [in The Cosmos is Alive] celebrate science fiction from its pulpy beginnings to its futureless present."
Peter Jay Shippy, author of How to Build the Ghost in Your Attic
"The Boy Born With a Pinhole Heart is a moving collection dealing with family history, particularly a grandfather’s heroism and decline."
John Skoyles, author of Suddenly It’s Evening: Selected Poems
"The compelling prose poems in Oakland, I’m Not Dead are infused with surreal imagery, humor, and memorable vignettes."
Terry Tierney, author of The Poet’s Garage and Why Trees Stay Outside
