Nude Male with Echo

NUDE MALE WITH ECHO

Darren C. Demaree — Poetry / Contemporary Poetry / Gender Studies

Book Description

Darren C. Demaree's collection NUDE MALE WITH ECHO examines and challenges male vanity, power, and expectation. While exploring the place of his gender in this world, Demaree's attempt to expand upon the expectations of \"what makes a man,\" while drilling down into the artistic framework provided by the body and aging, provides a new landscape for these modern questions.

NUDE MALE WITH ECHO, Demaree's thirteenth full-length collection, utilizes fresh language, energy, and abstraction to confront the typical arcs of his gender's role in society. These poems drag and batter \"maleness\" into what it is — a failing qualifier — and leaves us with the hope that it can be much more than what it has been in the past.
