Unmanly Grief

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.
