Macho artists

A blogger on Huffington Post describes how a Hillary advocate put down Obama by describing him as a poet. And, the blogger argues, poetry and masculinity are not mutually exclusive. I have always been fascinated by that intersection between masculinity and the sensitivity required to be an artist or musician or actor or writer. Ernest Hemingway, Nick Cave, Charles Bukowsi, Humphrey Bogart.

Maybe more later today.
