'I Wish I Could be Peter Falk' interrogates restrictive masculinity, pulling away at our held beliefs to expose their fragile but persistent constructions. These poems challenge the standards of the masculine convention, and the various media that help sculpt our expectations, tirelessly telling men how to feel, how to think, how to dress, what to drive, and how to identify. It is a nuanced exploration of modern masculinity and a warning of the dangers that persist when the commodification of gender goes unchecked.
