Sinopsis
In this fascinating anthology, one hundred men - distinguished in literature and film, science and architecture, theatre and human rights - confess to being moved to tears by poems that haunt them. Representing 20 nationalities and ranging in age from their early 20s to their late 80s, the majority are public figures not prone to crying. Here they admit to breaking down when ambushed by great art, often in words as powerful as the poems themselves., 75 per cent of the selected poems were written in the 20th century, with more than a dozen by women. Their themes range from love in its many guises, through mortality and loss, to the beauty and variety of nature. Three men have suffered the pain of losing a child; others are moved to tears by the exquisite way a poet captures, in Alexander Pope's famous phrase, 'what oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd'., From J.J Abrams to John le Carre, Salman Rushdie to Jonathan Franzen, Daniel Radcliffe to Nick Cave, Ian McEwan to Stephen Fry, Stanley Tucci to Colin Firth, and Seamus Heaney to Christopher Hitchens, this collection delivers private insight into the souls of men whose writing, acting, and thinking are admired around the world.

Críticas
'Everyone who reads this collection will be roused: disturbed by the pain, exalted in the zest for joy given by poets' Observer
'We recall the time at school when our treasured anthology of love poetry was seized by the class bully...if only we had been armed with a copy of Poems The Make Grown Men Cry' Times Literary Supplement
'That's the great thing about a good anthology of poems: you are reminded of old friends and introduced to new ones.... This is a welcome addition to my shelves and I'll look forward to Poems That Make Woman Cry' Sunday Telegraph
'Though these poems speak to personal loss and reflect human suffering, they redeem pain and restore courage. They bring manly tears to the eyes but heal the hearts of men and woman alike' Saga
'For once the blurb is believable: It really is a fascinating anthology. Finding out what makes particular men emotional is intriguing' Irish Independent
'The title is pure genius... what I love most is the proud grasp of emotion as mature and manly. Two words that become magnificent in their juxtaposition: "men" and "cry"' Daily Mail
'All the old weepies are here I m female and just the contents page was enough to make me well up. Delightful' The Times
'The best leave you with a renewed sense of how extraordinary it is that poetry can over the course of one sentence flood your circuit board with loss, or anger, or love' The Independent
'Our boys deserve better. Let's be gracious for the overall good and let them become equal in the right to spill our guts, share our thoughts and spout our tears. Let's buy them the book and hope it's enough to make them weep' Stylist
'The results are occasionally baffling but mostly illuminating. As with all the best anthologies, there is a compelling mixture of the well-known and the obscure' Mail On Sunday
'Doubt, war and family deaths are the subjects picked by stars for a new anthology... Representing 20 nationalities and ranging in age from early 20s to their late 80s, the lachrymose line-up of well-known men were asked to pick one poem that they could not read without getting a lump in the throat, or at least a wobble of the chin' --The Times
This is a really thought-provoking book...The range of contributors leads to a wonderful range of verse. And the overall result is a wonderfully powerful and moving experience' --The Times
'At the top of this year's Poetry list is Anthony and Ben's Poems That Make Grown Men Cry which has sold 11, 315 copies' --The Bookseller
