The Art of Work (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781934819579)

THE ART OF WORK takes but a moment of our history and offers it up in hopes that we may see more clearly the realities of a segment of working America. Centering around the Meat Cutter's Union of New York City, UFCW Local 342, the poems bear witness to real people, job sites, and stories. They offer new access points into the lives that exist past those solitary moments. This collection does not make art of work, it merely frames the beauty already present in our toiling, our labor, and our survival.
