The men who reappear as characters throughout Jess Williards' Unmanly Grief present their masculinity in diverse ways, encompassing boxing, theater, brotherhood, labor, and familial and romantic love. Tinged with a strong sense of nostalgia, Williards' poems traverse from Wisconsin to New York City and back, tracing the geographical journey of the speaker and his family. This includes a teenage sister who vanishes and then reappears, irrevocably transformed; an older brother who disintegrates in adulthood; and a father who consistently sacrifices for his loved ones. Throughout this varied and captivating collection, music emerges as a prominent element, appearing in both deft formal verse and concise, scrappy storytelling. What emerges is a harmonious celebration of struggle and tenderness in this world, where being small and fierce is deemed sufficient.
