review 1: I'm not a very big fan of poetry but I was curious to see if this collection of poems could live up it's title. There were a handful that were genuinely moving (i.e. "Those Who Are Near Me Do Not Know", "Eulogy To A Hell Of A Dame") because I have a soft spot for lost love and longing for people and things that are gone. Most however didn't hit much of a nerve with me. They aren't bad poems but nothing I'd care to read again.
review 2: The poems are terrific, and the stories behind their selection are even better. I really enjoyed this. It made me think, both about preconceived notions of masculinity and about poetry preferences. I was familiar with some of the works included, but many were new to me and have spurred my interest in learning more. And, yes, a f... moreew of the poems (and stories) brought me to tears, too. Highly recommended. less
