Smith), \u003cem\u003eHusbandry\u003c\/em\u003e is a love song from a father to his children. Written after a separation and during overwhelming single-fatherhood in the early days of COVID-19 lockdowns, \u003cem\u003eHusbandry\u003c\/em\u003e refuses romantic notions of parenting and embraces all its mess, anguish, joy, fear, boredom, warmth, and work. Dickman composes these poems entirely in vivid couplets that animate the various domestic pairs of broken-up parents, two sons, love and grief. With tender, aching clarity, \u003cem\u003eHusbandry\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the poet’s hunger to be a husband without ever being one, and his search for a father that ends with becoming one himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39844588224535,"sku":"9781324021384","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/9781324021384_918aa.jpg?v=1643852705","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/06-07-2022-husbandry-by-matthew-dickman","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
