About this product
Product Information
The men who recur as characters throughout Jess Williard's Unmanly Grief perform their masculinity in a variety of ways: boxing, theatre, brotherhood, labour, and familial and romantic love. Marked by a sharp nostalgia, Williard's poems move from Wisconsin to New York and back, tracing the geographic movement of the speaker and his family.

Reviews
"Jess Williard's Unmanly Grief is a journey into an unsung and often unseen America--and a love song to all those working just to get by. Here are poems of the people, told not in the elevated register of so much poetry, but in the rough and beautiful, guttural music of plain speech." --Patrick Phillips, author of Elegy for a Broken Machine, "In Unmanly Grief , the pale apostles of youth lead us through a childhood of corn and cement. Jess Williard shows how quiet some violences can be, how our incorrect heaven communicates through bats and waves, as well as what to believe in--the low pools of mourning where 'formal nouns will stack their spines on any ground.' This book knows the before and after of loves that don't ask us to hurt for them; this book is that kind of love, the kind you keep." --Traci Brimhall, author of Saudade and Our Lady of the Ruins, "Jess Williard's powerful debut sings the stories of the workaday world into the realm of the epic. With a vision that moves beautifully between the horrific and the sublime, and voice that yawps as brightly as it yearns, Williard's poetry moves us to take a second look at the fringes and see both 'the battered and battering' among us. Self-deprecatory and sometimes ashamed, elegiac and often celebratory, these poems dance around the poet's own eloquent question: 'Measured against the beautiful-/brained and impermanent, how can we not be a little grotesque?'" --Dean Bakopoulos, author of Please Don't Come Back from the Moon, " Unmanly Grief intersperses narratives of the body's specificity, vulnerability, and perseverance with feats of lyrical reflection and music enough to bridge the gap between the personal and shared nature of those narratives. The tension between the stories of the poems (grounded in family, work, place) and what can be made of such reverent, yet unflinching observation gives the poems their power. There's grounding in detail, voice, and careful observation, but also room, occasion, and audacity enough to leap from boxing to roofing to Hamlet and back." --Max Garland, author of The Word We Used for It

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
