The twenty poems in David Armand’s latest collection, Debt, are a series of emotional meditations on fatherhood, growing up poor, and the legacies we leave behind for our families. Deftly using his own experiences, then casting them out into the world so that they become a part of the universal exploration of life and all of its intricacies, Armand paints an honest and devastating portrait of what it means to be a father, a husband, and a son.
