"A tough, sweaty scent of maleness mingles with the bittersweet sense of loss in Jeff Mann's sexy new book, A Romantic Mann. His voice is tender, confident, intelligent, and engaging. His poems are the utterances of a man at the vantage point of what seems to be the middle age of a life lived gracefully, of one secure in his own skin. Whether recalling hairy chests, hairy thighs, hairy asses or evoking his childhood and his current life in Appalachia or attending to the state of the world, Mann is an urbane observer with a luscious language at his bidding. A tour de force, this is a book I dare anyone not to fall in love with." -Jim Elledge, author of H

“Mann is nothing less than the gay epic poet of our age. The ease with which he expresses the quotidian, the mythic, the timeless and the ineffable is unrivaled. These poems are heart-rendingly beautiful in their coupling of tenderness and strength, their historical and psychological breadth." - Trebor Healey, author of Sweet Son of Pan, Faun and A Horse Named Sorrow
