Boys are told not to cry. Men learn to hide it better - in cars, in showers, in stairwells, at 2 a.m. when the house finally goes quiet.
When Do Men Cry? The Tears We Hide is a raw, honest collection of poetry and personal essays about the secret places men go to fall apart - and why hiding it costs more than anyone admits.
Through four deeply felt sections, this book gives language to what most men have never been able to say out loud:
- The architecture of private places built just to feel things safely
- The exhausting performance of appearing fine every single day
- The honest questions that only arrive after midnight
- The physical and emotional toll of a lifetime of suppression
This isn't a book about men being broken. It's a book about men being human.
Written for men who are tired of carrying it alone - and for everyone who loves them.
Book One of the When Do Men Cry? series. Book Two: What We Were Taught - coming soon.
