When I read "In Praise of my Young Husband" by Cathleen Calbert, my impression and comprehension about the poem were mixed to me. During the first paragraph She mentions the different relationships between altering genders then concludes this paragraph with characteristics of a women's nutriment. In the second paragraph she mentions the characteristics of divorce letting the reader a clear understanding about why mothers are closer to their sons while going through a divorce. However I don't understand the significance of the analogy about the pillows and how it relates to the poem. I guess she's comparing the relationship to the significance. of father and daughter in general . I like in the third paragraph how she uses the analogy about homosexuals about the mirrors ,I thought that was very creative .See describe the characteristics of careless young love and how I guess people handle love everyday in life. I liked the diction and word choice within the poem. With the low number of commas ,made the reader think that the writer was writing with the flow of conscious.
