Rebecca Hazelton is an award-winning poet, writer, critic, and editor. She is the author of Fair Copy, Vow, and Gloss, a New York Times "New and Notable" book. Her poems have been published in literary journals and national magazines such as The New Yorker, The Nation, Poetry, and Boston Review.

"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
