May 5, 2015 by Seth Leibowitz Leave a Comment

dear mom peter wilson

Dear Mom, Peter Wilson's second poetic book about parents, spins a tale of an old man writing a letter to his mother.

Wilson's simple lines ("But even so, I had you with me, in a special way, because you taught me how to be the man I am today") deliver a deeper meaning of the relationship between mother and son. My mother and I have a special relationship. While she may pluck at my strings of patience with her "motherly" advice and requests, in … [Read more...]

I am a big fan of both poetry and children, and now is the time to celebrate them both -- April is National Poetry Month!

‘Remaking Manhood’ Looks at Masculinity in 21st Century

January 30, 2015 by Jason S. Grant Leave a Comment

Remaking Manhood, Mark Green, The Good Men Project

The prevalent theme throughout the book is that fathers -- and all men for that matter -- are not just there to provide the genetic material and teach their sons sports. The true nature of manhood is more complex. Men are sensitive. Male sensitivity is not a flaw. And we, as men, have paid … [Read more...]
