“Being a Macho Man” is a courageous collection of poems dedicated to men who are often expected to play the role of a Superman in their lives. Through lyrical storytelling and unguarded confession, the book challenges stereotypes and highlights the discrimination and silence that many men endure. The poems bring attention to topics that are frequently hushed — male sexual assault, gay love, boy-child abuse, single fatherhood, and more — using poetry as a vehicle for empathy, healing, and social questioning.
