Love PoemsWednesday 13 February 2002
Daisy Goodwin's collection, 101 Poems To Help You Understand Men (and Women) includes a section called 'Bloody Men' which features descriptions of the worst cases. The section is there, she says, for the days when you want reassurance that the man who drives you mad, could quite conceivably be worse.

The poet Sophie Hannah has selected a type of man who is definitely worth a wide berth, calling him 'an unmarked crossroads of a man'. She explains all about him before reading her poem Slow It Right Down.
