All the Men I Never Married

Product Information

I mostly adore being alone and pursuing varied interests, knowing i won't come home to a slob, drained bank account or hopeless addict. In some ways the figures are unsurprising; there has been a four-decades-long trend away from marriage since it peaked in the middle of the 20th century. Plus I'm old fashioned I like the stories and randkm spot you meet and all that you know what people used to do before the internet.

And more of them are male; 28% of 40-year-old men have never married, versus 22% of women the same age. I find most women since the 70s are distracted and very busy with too many things to consider dating or marriage. I am 42 single myself and as I got older I noticed the men I dated started to change because the most abusive men not always but if you will notice alot of them will go for a young woman late teens, early 20s, they think they can treat them like dirt, ladies becareful!For me, safest bottom line - being secure knowing my skills are vast and mutable; i can pick up my bag and leave any time a fear of control closes in. Dangerous wit’ … Kim Moore, winner of the Forward poetry prize for best collection for All the Men I Never Married. Kim Moore’s brave and open-hearted new collection does not offer any form of resolution to the significant questions it sets itself, but rather a working through of continuing anxieties and turmoil. Hey, all of us want to think that about ourselves – let’s just say for argument’s sake that it’s true! Bhutto said this year’s judges “read such an incredible selection of work”, adding that “all the shortlisted collections and poems were so accomplished and are a great testament to the radical spirit of poetry today”.

I have received several marriage propositions which were really not from a man who would be a suitable husband for me. I do get lonely and want love yes but that fear of abuse which makes one so so sick while in it totally stops me in my tracks. I do think there are certain people who have built a brick wall around themselves (men and women) and they really don't want to let anyone in. Kim Moore’s eagerly awaited second collection All The Men I Never Married is pointedly feminist, challenging and keenly aware of the contradictions and complexities of desire. To me, as naive as I am, I’d like to think he is not a “player” trying to work me over because we have these long conversations with a lot of depth to them.Would you settle for someone who couldn't match your work and has been married 2, 3+ times after having decided to wait for years on the right person while working to better yourself? That’s why the most important questions you can ask this man are the ones that help you get to know the one you’re dating, as a person (as opposed to a spouse-by-numbers). All the material was there, the poems were often evocative with fantastic imagery being produced as a result. The status of defining a relationship based on societal "norms" or long standing religious deeds are long gone.

The book opens with a rally-cry that is also a warning: ‘ We are coming under cover of darkness,’ and continues with the description of ‘We’ as being woman, both witch-like (feared) and oppressed, with ‘hobbled’ childhoods and spaces that were ‘given’. I try to take it as a compliment - they think I'm great and can't figure out why I am single, so it *must be* some hidden horrible quality or pickiness, etc. I want to be equal and I want to be able to have my needs met and meet someone else's essential needs.

I am a 30 year old single male and while yes it does get lonely sometimes and there are many times I wish I had someone to share my life with, I have realized that this is the life for me.I love my solitude, enjoy my own being, I have plenty of time to look into my own Self and connect with it. Some are cultural; the way households are formed is being refashioned by questions of gender and sexuality.

Havivng so many young people my age getting marriage and having kids , for some reason it doesnt seem to hit a nerve of some sort.The poetry in this collection doesn't always align with my personal preferences, I like my poetry with a lot of rhythm and rhyming, although happily I seem to be in the minotiry here. In truth, the act of relenting is not conceived in terms of a shrug; rather is it counter-intuitive and self-effacing. However, I felt as though some ideas weren't fleshed out and space was instead taken up by somewhat repetitive topics.
