Broetry

Broetry? What is it besides the title of a newly published book of poems? The poet, Brian McGackin, says it best in his blog post:  "...Broetry is poetry for dudes; it's poetry for people who don't normally like poetry. Are you the type of person that scoffs at Shelley, laughs at Lord Byron, and wouldn't be caught dead reading Whitman? Then I am quite pleased to inform you that there is finally a manly alternative."

And he's right. Where else can you find poems that start out:

"I have finished

the beer

that was in

the icebox"

or

"So, we're probably going to break up, right?

I think we should, although I'm terrible

at making decisions, so would you mind

just taking care of that for me?"

So check out this new addition to our collection and enjoy the manly--and sometimes rather explicit--musings of a totally male poet.
