Jim Daniels takes readers inside an auto factory to experience the frustrations, the dehumanization, and the small victories found there.

Daniels' second book of poetry takes readers inside an auto factory with Digger, a young man whose initial reaction of shock and dismay at the difficult working conditions prompts him to find ways to cope with the dehumanization he experiences there. The book is a series of tightly woven poems that play off one another so that the book accumulates tension and energy as it progresses.

Daniels treats his characters and their work with respect, giving them a dignity that factory condition deny them. Opting for blunt, straightforward language, Daniels does not try to "poeticize" the factory but rather injects the factory into his poetry.

Industry Reviews

[Daniels] captures, as few contemporary poets do, the sounds of North American city speech, illuminating our everyday experience in the common tongue.--Julia Stein "Village Voice"
