Beautiful Things that Happen to Ugly People attempts to piece together the mysterious life of Paulie, the author's alter ego, a man seeming to live in all times and no time at all, a faceless composite of our most human of souls. The fragments of his life glimmer in like memories through poetry and prose, photos and paintings, images that recall first kisses and wayward dreams, with treasured letters from friends and lovers, collected over the years. It is literature wrapped around art and art wrapped around literature, a modern illuminated manuscript, the pages like dots for the reader to connect with their own lines.

Featuring 146 full colour pages, 36 pieces of poetry and prose, and 13 letters written to Paulie by members of the Year Zerø Writers group and its community.
