46 Days on T - Poetry Corner 1

For my first ‘progress tracking’ video, I read some poetry. I will be reading one poem per month from ‘Poems that make Grown Men Cry’. Edited by Anthony and Ben Holden. Initially, it was just going to be a way of tracking how my voice and face change over time on T, but I also thought it was a good book to use as a way of expressing a lesser-seen facet of positive masculinity, as I’m very keen on challenging the toxic expectations on men to disconnect themselves from their vulnerability.
This month’s poem is ‘Elegy’ by Chidiock Tichborne. It was selected for the book by the Scottish opera director, Sir David McVicar.
