Poems for Men: A volume of poetry to change your view on what it means to be a man.

Is the gender of brawn and ‘can-do’ really a candidate for honeyed verse?

Obviously yes. Through the centuries men seem to dominate the writing of poetry. From books of epics to quatrains of love poetry it seemed to be a man’s world. His domain.

But take away the stirring deeds of adventure and much of what remains was written in the admiration or pursuit of women.

A volume purely for men, to show other facets of their personalities and characters seems to be an obvious choice. One verse fits all is, in fact, far removed from the truth.

Men needs words. They need support, understanding as well as goals, ambition and structure. They need purpose, desire; the need to love and be loved.
