Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 1st printing. 310pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Grown men don't cry. But in this fascinating anthology, one hundred men--distinguished in literature and film, science and architecture, theater and human rights--confess to being moved to tears by poems that continue to haunt them. These men represent twenty nationalities and range in age from their early twenties to their late eighties, and the majority are public figures not prone to crying. Here they admit to breaking down when ambushed by great art, often in words as powerful as the poems themselves. [] Their selections include classics by visionaries such as Walt Whitman, W.H Auden, and Philip Larkin, as well as contemporary works by masters including Billy Collins, Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott, and poets who span the globe from Pablo Neruda to Rabindranath Tagore. Seventy-five percent of the selected poems were written in the twentieth century, with a dozen by women including Mary Oliver, Elizabeth Bishop, and Gwendolyn Brooks. Their themes range from love in its many guises, through mortality and loss, to the beauty and variety of nature. Three men have suffered the pain of losing a child; others are moved to tears by the exquisite way a poet captures, in Alexander Pope's famous phrase, 'what oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd.' [] From J. J. Abrams to John le Carré, Salman Rushdie to Jonathan Franzen, Daniel Radcliffe to Nick Cave, Billy Collins to Stephen Fry, Stanley Tucci to Colin Firth, and Seamus Heaney to Christopher Hitchens, this collection delivers private insight into the souls of men whose writing, acting, and thinking are admired around the world." [jacket copy] "Everyone who reads this collection will be roused: disturbed by the pain, exalted in the zest for joy given by poets."--Nadine Gordimer. "The Holdens remind us that you don't have to be an academic or a postgraduate in creative writing to be moved by verse. . . I defy anyone not to enjoy the Holdens' book: It's plain fun."--Wall Street Journal. "I most enjoyed the brief introduction each contributor gave their selected poem. The stories behind the poems that moved them to tears were often just as emotional and passionate. I would recommend this as a gift to the poetry-lover in your life--whether they're a man or a woman."--The Examiner. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright & intact jacket. Quite presentable.
