Exposed 2U

What does it mean to be a man? The poems in Exposed 2U explore this question with gentleness humour and honesty offering open-hearted reflections on subjects like love and romance family and fatherhood religion and spirituality illness and aging communication and community. <br /><br />Through a series of accessible and poignant vignettes Sherwin Paul Head works to crack through male armour exposing a soft vulnerable core. A confused and exhausted Pentecostal child falls asleep under a church pew. A housefire destroys a family home-but not the family. A new father is devastated when he accidentally exposes the film roll containing photographs of his newborn daughter presaging future estrangement before ultimate reunion. <br /><br />Exposed 2U is a revealing portrayal of masculinity and a compelling redemptive journey. The poet's willingness to divulge his own shortcomings and challenges offers a message of hope and encouragement as well as an invitation to the reader to follow their own journey of self-reflection. Readers are encouraged to seek happiness through the poet's formula: Harmony = (You + I) Communication² or H = (Y + I) C ²
