Neuware - A life-enhancing tour through classic and contemporary poems that have made men cry: "The Holdens remind us that you don't have to be an academic or a postgraduate in creative writing to be moved by verse.It's plain fun" (The Wall Street Journal).Grown men aren't supposed to cryYet in this fascinating anthology, one hundred mendistinguished in literature and film, science and architecture, theater and human rightsconfess to being moved to tears by poems that continue to haunt them. Although the majority are public figures not prone to crying, here they admit to breaking down, often in words as powerful as the poems themselves. Their selections include classics by visionaries, such as Walt Whitman, W.H.

"Everyone who reads this collection will be roused: disturbed by the pain, exalted in the zest for joy given by poets" (Nadine Gordimer, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature).…
