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.
