Richard Jeffrey Newman's collection of poems, Words for What Those Men Have Done, continues the exploration he began in The Silence of Men of how surviving childhood sexual violence has shaped his life as a man. Where The Silence of Men focused on ending the silence in which the men who violated him tried to force him to live, Words for What Those Men Have Done is animated by this question: What has it meant for him to commit himself as a man never to standing on the same side of gender and sexual politics as those men?
