We no longer live in a time of heroes but we can still sing songs to them. Songs that inspire and excite, entice and enthrall. Song that raise our spirits and touch our hearts. This volume aims to do just that. In both classical lyrics and modern free verse, the poems collected here touch on those emotions felt by every man: love, lust, honor, courage, and regret. Heroes and Hedonists is a book of poetry written for men today. Men who don't know how to express themselves since they never read poetry. Small epics about mythical heroes, simple rhymes expressing manly struggle, tender lyrics about love's intoxication, and free verse conveying the disillusionment so many men feel today. Whether a poetry devotee or someone who wouldn't be could dead reading it, there is something for you in these pages.
