Can we do Better?","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis anthology is the third in a series of three books by Don Morris. The first book is \"\u003cem\u003eCan We Do Better\u003c\/em\u003e\". The second is a \"\u003cem\u003eCompanion Workbook\u003c\/em\u003e\" to \u003cem\u003eCan We Do Better\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Don's books are about hope for us humans to do better than a mishmash of historical and current issues and harms that arise from misguided, dysfunctional and destructive expressions of masculinity. As clarified in all the poems - misguided, dysfunctional, harmful masculinity is not by all men, or even by most men, but is too-often manifested here, there, and everywhere by too many men, in too many realms, over too long a time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems weave a detailed network of patriarchal issues in culture, religion, politics, institutions, communities, families, and relationships. They highlight the impact of manmade harms to the earth, First Peoples, women, children, and other often-disempowered societal groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome men might struggle with this unusual and confronting anthology. In contrast, it is likely that a good proportion of women will nod and sigh as they work their way through the poems and themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems advocate that societal evolution is contingent upon a critical mass of us facing key facts, truths and realities about wayward masculinity. The anthology concludes with a range of powerful and hopeful invitations that may help us humans do better than our history of man-made harms to ourselves, our kindred species, and the earth ... our Mother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922957984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922957986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Don Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066027553023,"sku":"9781922957986","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69a3140d-fcb7-441f-a679-2b52cba7a603.jpg?v=1768677837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poems-that-ask-can-we-don-morris-9781922957986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
