Generic Husband presents a queer take on an old, beloved, and troublesome subject: the husband. While the "generic husband" of the cultural imagination has remained relatively static, the reality of the husband in contemporary marriage proves multidimensional and complex. Alternatively tender and bitingly funny, Rebecca Hazelton's poems unpack the inequities created by gender, power, and patriarchal legacies, unraveling what a "husband" can be, both personally and culturally.

"Whip-smart and darkly funny, Rebecca Hazelton's Generic Husband probes the mystery of marriage, how if you move through life with one loved person long enough, they can become invisible to you. Hazelton's poems turn a keen eye on the husband as concept and (unreasonably hot) body, unspooling a multiverse of men whose devotion is 'terrible, beautiful, [and] unrelenting.' I dare you to read this book and not fall a little in love with all these husbands, generic, specific, optimistic, self-taught, and otherwise. Men might be mostly bad, but these husbands are great." - Nancy Reddy
