A collaboration of poetry and art at once deeply personal and universal in its theme and message, This Has Happened details honestly the horror and humor, rage and contemplation, questions and revelations experienced by Jeannine Chappell and David Brehmer in the immediate aftermath of the tragic collision that stole Chappell’s son Alex, and left Brehmer with multiple severe injuries.

This collection is the result of two separate, but parallel, responses to the same situation, two attempts to continue to move through something strange and horrible.
