Sinopsis

Everyone knows you don&rsquo,t talk about the elephant in the room. But, what if you are the elephant in the room?áWhite Boys from Helláfiles a report on the position of the straight white male in current American culture, a position fraught with contradiction and confusion. It does so without resort to the diction of the academy, or any lens applied in detachment, but, rather: from the inside out. In poems that address relations between men and women, men and other men, and men and the larger world, notions such as &ldquo,masculinity,&rdquo, and &ldquo,toxic masculinity&rdquo, are considered by the voice of poetry, which, in Robert Pinsky&rsquo,s use of the phrase, means &ldquo,something quite literal and practical.&rdquo, Granted, these are the poems of one person (elephant?) only, but the voice is compelling, the vision clear-eyed, rending, and urgent.
