”If” by Rudyard Kipling | POETRY FOR MEN

About this episode

Celebrated British author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is the author of one of the best-known and most beloved poems in the world, “If.”

Kipling writes in plain language, about situations and scenarios that we can recognize, even if they aren't familiar to us from our everyday experience.

He explains how being a Man is a result of decisive action, not simply being, while laying out a sort of “North Star” for excellence to guide us in how we conduct our lives.

I couldn’t think of a better work to re-start my Poetry for Men series, after a long hiatus.
