About The Author: H.N.H
H.N.H: "I wrote this poem to reckon with the mythology of fatherhood--the sorrow, the silence, and the sanctity we assign to it. It's a quiet hymn for the god that survives in grief. It is both a mourning and a reverence--a meditation on how broken men become sacred in the memory of their children. In confronting what broke him, I found a theology not of gods, but of men who endured."
