Synopsis

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

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Mark Douglas Robison is an unlikely poet, as his entire career, starting with his Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has focused on reason and logic. His career has included roles at engineering and consulting firms from entry level to Vice President. His literary skills have been honed by many years of technical and business writing focusing on clarity and conciseness. In Man to Man: Poems for Men he has applied these skills to words of feelings rather than reason, resulting in an intensity and readability rarely seen.

Mark lives with his wife Debra in Spring, Texas, and has three adult children.
