Inhaltsangabe

Part reckoning with a father's chronic illness, part coming of age in the Upper South, part meditation on the slow, painful accumulation of adulthood, Another Man considers issues of family, care, and inheritance. These powerful poems capture unexpected moments of lucidity among the desire and heartbreak of becoming oneself.

In his debut collection, Jim Whiteside astonishes with turns of phrases that pinpoint the beauty in the mundane―the "waterfalling bodies" of fish while stocking a pond―and the mundane in the tragic, as with the realization following his father's death that "in the end so much is paperwork." In revealing his origin story, Whiteside redefines the queer poem in a more nuanced and contemporary way, acknowledging queer life beyond conventional narratives. Filled with a zeal for life, a yearning for joy, and moments of sublime satisfaction, this collection shimmers with longing and freedom.

“The sweaters,

the wool and cotton sweaters, 

the yarns in the sweaters,

the fibers spun and knitted

into the approximate shape

of a father. The yarns

that gradually return

to their original shape,

slowly forgetting his form.”

―Excerpt from “Inventory––closet”
