Reciped Me: The Makings of a Mild Mannered Madman

Product Details

Inside This Book Product

Most men are made without knowing it — by the wrong choices, the right losses, the people they couldn’t keep and the ones who kept them anyway.In this collection, Severiano Thornton lays out the ingredients: Faith. Love. Loyalty. Brutal Honesty. Appreciation. Reciprocity. Acknowledgment. Not as aspirations, but as the actual compounds of a life — examined, earned, and in several cases, still being paid for.Across forty-four poems, Thornton accounts for himself without apology and without performance. The voice is legal, philosophical, and at its most exposed, simply honest — the voice of a man who has done the counting and knows exactly what the numbers say.Reciped Me is not a self-help book wearing a poetry collection’s clothes. It is the recipe itself: what went in, in what measure, and what it produced.
