Poetry. "In WHAT MEN WANT, Laura McCullough elbows Sigmund Freud and winks. Her poems are witty and barbed, but they are also tender, full of candor, echoing James Wright. This is a book of audacious love poems, gutsy pronouncements, accounts of unabashed desire. McCullough crisscrosses personal accounts and societal expectations--she is a bombshell dropping bombshells"--Denise Duhamel.
