Work Songs is a collection of memoiristic hymns to the many service jobs the poet held as a young man coming of age in 1970s-era Buffalo, NY and beyond: zoo concession worker, butcher's helper, taxicab driver, short order cook, and disc jockey, among others. In rich lyrical language and engaging narrative style, Work Songs draws on the American poetic tradition found in the work of Walt Whitman, Philip Levine, Dick Allen, and Richard Hugo to etch keen evocations of the people, places, and human conditions of a faded world.
