Raw, Authentic and Highly Emotive, June 22, 2009
Rick Belden's book of poems really struck a chord with me. He says the things guys are semi-conscious of, and then proceeds to really sink into the heart of the unsaid feelings. Rick's use of metaphor is spot-on - he electrically charges his poems to communicate the experiences all men have in their sexual experiences, family of origin experiences, and interpersonal relationships.
He is the voice many men would wish that they could have - if they weren't avoiding it or stuffing it to deal with later. His poems are very transformational, and really gives a voice to the modern male experience - one which is frequently (and unfortunately) not discussed as it is in Rick's "Iron Man Family Outing." Great job, Rick, and thanks for the work that you do, from this man and for others.
