Loud Men: The Poetic Visions of Robert Bly, Ice Cube, and Etheridge Knight

This paper describes three poets, Robert Bly, Ice Cube, and Etheridge Knight, and their poetic representations of masculinity. Their works are examined using the theoretical frame of “loudness.” Each poet's work exemplifies both a positive quality associated with loudness as well as a dangerous “silence” masked by their respective loudness.
