Opis

The poems in Samuel Hazo s "Sexes: The Marriage Dialogues "are concerned with how husbands and wives confront each other at life s various intersections sometimes casually, sometimes profoundly. It is at these points that the most interesting differences in gender reveal themselves. From the first poem ( Banterers ) to the last ( Ballad of the Old Lovers ) Hazo s attuned ear picks up quotidian conversational exchanges, but the words are never window dressing. They hint at inevitable insights and misunderstandings born out of conjugal love. Each poem is a vignette of the moving and surprising moments that are married life."
