Given the events of the last few days (SCOTUS anyone?), I needed something to lift me up and today’s #bookmail did not disappoint.

This is the second printing of Masculinity by Michael Stokes and I signed up for a copy a few months ago when he announced the Kickstarter for it. I loved how he also showed you the process of creating these books on his Facebook Page.

If you’re not familiar with Michael Stokes, he’s a photographer who has such an artistic eye for capturing the human body, especially the male form. He also has a wonderful book featuring wounded warriors, male and female. You can find him on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (where you can find the NSFW versions of his photos).

So hold the phone! I’m gonna be busy for the rest of the weekend!

Nah. Just kidding. I’ll be writing.
