Sinossi
James Ciano’s debut collection, The Committee of Men, explores the cycles of violence men inflict on one another and themselves, examining how silence, shame, and inherited expectations shape masculine identity. Rooted in the speaker’s experience as a college athlete from a family of athletes—including a father who is a high school football coach—these poems confront the emotional weight of tradition and the often-unspoken struggles of male intimacy, mental illness, and familial pressure.
Through sharp lyricism and emotional honesty, Ciano delves into themes of belonging and exile, accountability and forgiveness, and the quiet damage done by historically unexamined masculinity, asking what it means to break these generational cycles without severing connection, and how healing might emerge in places where vulnerability is discouraged or denied. The result is a collection that is both unflinching and deeply humane—an urgent, resonant debut that refuses to look away.
The Committee of Men also includes a foreword by acclaimed poet David St. John, whose introduction situates Ciano’s work within a broader conversation about masculinity and poetic tradition, and underscores the collection’s emotional depth and significance.

The Committee of Men (brothers)
Three brothers small brothers in the yard the basement
broken barstool over a back teeth white moon white
moon like a hole burnt through a black feather
muddy brothers running in a pack punching
open the door latch the stairs palms on the stairs
no lights on brothers with sticks brothers beating
fists against the table hungry brothers brothers holding
other brothers in the night names of brothers
swimming in the summer on bicycles in beds of trucks
brothers wrestling in the boiler room asleep on the floor
brothers hiding brothers under the sofa soft brothers
with bats bloody brothers running home from the park
running to the park away from home laughing brothers
in branches brothers bandaged in front of box fans
the cat the brothers find hit by the car the bag
the brothers place it in and bury in the yard
