I say this ruefully, because in reality when we met in a choral room beneath the arched grandeur of the Cathedral of the Madeline I only managed to embarrass myself and walk away quietly with a signed poem for a friend of Catholic descent. I say all this because Spirited Men is a walk with some of the finest people I have never met. They are diverse, deep and diligently indicative of all that is noteworthy of manhood and the honest pursuit of it. It is not that it is difficult to sing praises of Doyle's writing, but rather that juxtaposed there is nothing I can currently note as effulgently and sincerely as Doyle does. Sincerity. That seems to encapsulate the feelings I felt beneath the weighty grandeur of an edifice to divinity, sanctity, holiness. As well as the feelings I felt as I read the details of these Spirited Men. Sincerity is Holy. In Spirited Men you will meet Bob Boehmer, Paul Kelly, Jim Kjelgaard, Plutarch, Robert Louis Stevenson and several others. A smattering of writers, musicians and more, all of who are connected by shared substance and soul. One particularly poignant moment in the narrative is the examination of Doyle's rereading of Big Red as an adult. To readers who continued to approach literature long after it is required by public educators I would ask what was written that drew us back? For myself I can think of the individual stories and characters who I became intimately associated with through the printed page and Doyle's explication of this moment in my life was incredible. I love Doyle's writing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A lively wonderful read. *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2018* Got this book for book club and am happy to keep. It was a delight to read and had a different take on creative folk that we all know something about, but which to author has done research and supplies a much broader view as well as a different slant on what he sees in them as special persons. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars His prose is poetry. *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 25, 2013* Brian Doyle is my favorite author. I have been reading his work in Guideposts Daily for years. When I receive a new issue, I read his contributions, all of them immediately. His prose is poetry. "Spirited Men..." increases my admiration. Additionally, the content was thoroughly enjoyable and interesting. You wil learn much from his sketches of these men. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12682243-spirited-men-story-soul-and-substance](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12682243-spirited-men-story-soul-and-substance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
