Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “By turns tender, heartbroken, enraptured, delighted, angry, melancholy—all the turns of human family life.”—Jesse Nathan, McSweeney’s An intimate, moving volume of poems on the anxieties and love of single fatherhood and domestic life. Guided by acclaimed poet Matthew Dickman’s signature “clarity and ability to engage” (David Kirby, New York Times), Husbandry 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, Husbandry refuses romantic notions of parenting and embraces all its mess, anguish, humor, fear, boredom, and warmth. Dickman composes these poems entirely in vivid couplets that animate the various domestic pairs of broken-up parents, two sons, love and grief. He explores the terrain of his children’s dreams and nightmares, the almost primal fears that spill into his own, and the residual impacts of his parents’ failures. Threading his anxieties with bright moments of beauty and gratitude, the volume delights in seeing the world through the clear eyes of childhood and finds meaning in the domestic work—repetitive, exhausting, and sublime—of sustaining three lives. With tender, aching precision, Husbandry 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.

Book excerpt: Composing an arranged marriage of the bestial and humane, this anthology finds a balance between instinct and intellect. The featured poems clarify vision through the funhouse mirror-logic is strained, existence contracts and multiplies, connections amputate and then graft in incongruous ways-reflecting the human race's own absurd image. From Nancy Reagan promoting crab salad to Paris spilling into the countryside and a hammer seeking understanding through a vase, this assemblage of often disparate elements attempts the ultimate reconciliation-that of the mind with the world.

Literary Nonfiction. Hybrid Genre. How the narrator of AMATEUR HUSBANDRY manages to maintain a sense of calmness and well-being as he deals with the rather unruly and chaotic natural world is remarkable. Married to a yellow horse of Xantippe-like qualities, he is nonetheless the go-to guy for fatherly and sane advice, whether dealing with an unneighborly woodchuck, a panhandling bear, or one of his many fosterlings (like the goat that wants to dress up as a U.S. President), all the while maintaining a sense of humor and empathy. Call them what you willâ microfictions, prose poems, fables, field notesâ these brief observations of nature (human and animal) are those of a backyard zoologist, anthropologist, mythologist, and literary executorâ all amateurishly wise, playfully insightful, and often very funny. There is a heartbreaking vulnerability in Phillip Sterling's strange, sly micro-fictions replete with talking animals. I can't think of anyone since Russell Edson who so effectively uses the absurd and surreal to explore the complicated dynamics of family and interpersonal relationships. The pieces in AMATEUR HUSBANDRY do what short-short stories do bestâ they push beyond their compression to create a fully realized world, putting both our foibles and our mercies on display.â Marc J. Sheehan What a great read! From the playful title to the domestic dramas, AMATEUR HUSBANDRY captures the absolute normalcy of life IF you are married to a horse and your world is populated by badgers and wolverinesâ among other creaturesâ all with the problems any household encounters. These stories of domestic life are elevated with wit, humor, and a stable of articulate and smart characters.â Elizabeth Kerlikowske Phillip Sterling's AMATEUR HUSBANDRY is a sleek, sly, and occasionally silly collection of domestic fables and playful micro-fictions. An unexpected menagerie of delightful creatures, human and otherwise.â Dinty W. Moore

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wendell Baerry has become ''mad'' at contemporary society. Gleaned from various collections of this amazing American voice, the poems take the shape of manifestos, insults, and Whitmanic ravings that are often funny in spite of themselves. The whole is a wonderful testimony to the power of humor to bring even the most terrible consequences into an otherwise unobtainable focus.

Book excerpt: The sanity and eloquence of these poems spring from the land in Kentucky where Wendell Berry was born, married, lives, farms, and writes. From classic pastoral themes both lyrical and reflective, to a verse play, to a dramatic narrative and the manic, entertaining, prescient ravings of Berry’s Mad Farmer, these poems show a unity of language and consciousness, skill and sensitivity, that has placed Wendell Berry at the front rank of contemporary American poets.
