This book is dedicated to the men who’d rather sit in a dentist’s chair (no insult to dentists intended) than sit down and read a poem. My theory is that by the time these men graduated high school, with its required study of masterpiece poetry, their thinking was molded by their experience and they made up their minds to never spend time with a poem again. My goal is to invite these men to read or hear poems they will enjoy and find meaningful. Some may even give them a good laugh.
