Modern manhood is confusing and complicated, but Joey Franklin, a thirtysomething father of three, is determined to make the best of it. In My Wife Wants You to Know I’m Happily Married, he offers frank, self-deprecating meditations on everything from male-pattern baldness and the balm of blues harmonica to grand theft auto and the staying power of first kisses. He riffs on cockroaches, hockey, romance novels, Boy Scout hikes, and the challenge of parenting a child through high-stakes Texas T-ball. With honesty and wit, Franklin explores what it takes to raise three boys, succeed in a relationship, and survive as a modern man. My Wife Wants You to Know I’m Happily Married is an uplifting rumination on learning from the past and living for the present, a hopeful take on being a man without being a menace to society.

"With certainty undergirded by fact, and wisdom that never overreaches, these essays are grand (and not at all delusional)"-Debra Monroe, author of My Unsentimental EducationIn Delusions of Grandeur Joey Franklin examines the dreams and delusions of America’s most persistent mythologies-including the beliefs in white supremacy and rugged individualism and the problems of toxic masculinity and religious extremism-as they reveal themselves in the life of a husband and father fast approaching forty. With prose steeped in research and a playful, lyric attention to language, Franklin asks candid questions about what it takes to see clearly as a citizen, a parent, a child, a neighbor, and a human being.How should a white father from the suburbs talk with his sons about the death of Trayvon Martin? What do video games like Fortnite and Minecraft reveal about our appetites for destruction? Is it possible for Americans to celebrate bootstrap pioneer history while also lamenting the slavery that made it possible? How does the American tradition of exploiting cheap labor create a link between coal mining and plasma donation in southeast Ohio?Part cultural critique, part parental confessional, Delusions of Grandeur embraces the notion that the personal is always political, and reveals important, if sometimes uncomfortable, truths about our American obsessions with race, class, religion, and family.

Fourth Genre: Twenty-Five Essays from Our First Twenty-Five Years is an anthology of outstanding creative nonfiction published since the journal’s first issue in 1999. Describing it as an anthology, though, feels too dry for this collection. Is it a mixtape, maybe? A literary festival or a potluck? A mosaic of voices, a tapestry, or an open mic? This volume includes essays on grief and guns, prayer and parenthood, fear and family, race and religion, hometowns and home cooking. It features stories from parents, teachers, scholars, activists, and artists, told in voices that represent white, Black, brown, gay, straight, transgender, and immigrant experiences. Ordinary people engaged in the extraordinary act of humble self-reflection, all wrestling with issues, big and small, trusting in the power of the personal to reveal essential truths about all of us. Each essay comes paired with writing prompts and a reflective note from the author that reveals their personal creative process, inviting readers to begin their own journeys of discovery. Whether you’re here to teach, learn, or just savor fine writing, this book will remind you that life, in all its strange, wonderful, heartbreaking, devastating beauty and trauma, is always worth writing about.
