The Will Spencer Podcast

In this episode of The Renaissance of Men’s “Poetry for Men” series, Will Spencer reads the poem “Mother and Son” by one of Canada's most beloved literary figures, Alden Nowlan. This challenging and provocative piece highlights the ways that parental violence can masquerade as harmless touches, right before our eyes. But by understanding the differences between men and women, we see that not all is well. And through that discomfort, art can help us learn, and grow. To read "Mother and Son" click here.
