Poetrxy: For Men Who Don’t Read Poetry

PoetrXY: For Men Who Don’t Read Poetry is a collection of sonnets, villanelles, and prose written for those who usually skip the poetry section. With plainspoken intros and a craftsman’s touch, these pieces explore fatherhood, faith, and quiet reckoning from a masculine point of view.



The poems are straightforward but thoughtful--blending traditional rhyme and structure with honest, modern themes. Some lean into the spiritual, others take a wry look at belief, and most speak to readers who don’t follow literary trends. This is poetry for the disenchanted, the devout, and the quietly searching--for men who remember the kind of verse they studied in school and wonder why nobody writes that way anymore.

Jory Como is an American writer based out of Christchurch, New Zealand. His poetry explores themes of faith, family, and identity with formal precision and subtle humor.
