An award-winning anthology of paired poems by men and women.

In this insightful anthology, the editors grouped almost 200 poems into pairs to demonstrate the different ways in which male and female poets see the same topics. How women see men, how boys see girls, and how we all see the world-often in very different ways, but surprisingly, wonderfully, sometimes very much the same.
