“FOUR WINDOWS ON THE MALE is a striking collection by four very individual poets. It opens many different windows on attitudes and behaviours around maleness and explores them with a glorious thoroughness. The reader is constantly surprised and delighted by the freshness of their vision, their innovative ways of looking. 
These poems are by turns devastating, playful, political, wry, angry, tender and everything else in between. 
What is it to be male? These thought-provoking poems offer succinct visions or versions of the complex ideas around masculinity, and how toxic masculinity affects women and girls. They look at youth and age, family relationships, history, story, longing, grief. 
They look both slant and straight on and in doing what all good poems do, they crack open their subject and make it sing.”
    Janet Sutherland, author of The Messanger House, and four other poetry collections (Shearsman Books.)

"I certainly feel educated and entertained by the two female and two male poets whose creativity we see through these four windows. I hope you have a similar experience."
