Download or read book Man to Man Poems for Men written by Mark Douglas Robison and published by Choose Change Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on issues common to men today, and unique in its personal, intimate approach to maleness, Man to Man: Poems for Men is a collection of free style poems aimed at both the intellect and the buried emotions of the modern male. Based on the author’s life experiences, it explores and redefines the meaning of masculinity and the demanding roles confronting men in today’s world. In our society, masculinity and poetry do not often go together; the author, through this book, seeks to change that. Appealing to women as well as to men, Man to Man: Poems for Men is more than a book of free-standing, independent poems. Collectively, the poems create an autobiography of sorts, covering the experiences and expectations encountered by men throughout their lives. At the same time, topics ranging from parenting and relationships to politics and religion make this an “Issues” book that the author hopes will encourage private and public discussion of concerns important to each of us. The poems are organized into the following topics: - Masculinity and Poetry - Manhood, Men and Me - Growing Up - Fathers, Mothers and Family - Relationships - Love and Marriage - Children - Humanity: Our World, Our Future
Download or read book The Transparent Man written by Anthony Hecht and published by Knopf Publishing Group. This book was released on 1990 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominee for National Book Critics Circle Award, this volume contains many delights and some long poems. There is a European feel about Hecht's verse that is striking, partly due to the richness of the classical allusions, and partly due to the way Hecht handles autobiography. Poetry in the 20th century is very much shaped by the individualism of our times, but poetry that is in essence confessional, eccentric, and overly particularized quickly becomes tiresome. Hecht often avoids this pitfall by realizing his own insight through cultural rather than personal metaphor, and this allows his words and imagery to remain fresh and resonant.
