The Overnight Shift

By David R Disarro

In his second chapbook collection, The Overnight Shift, David R. DiSarro explores the complexity of human relationships, living on the edge, and those moments caught between exhilaration and monotony. With speakers often described as multifaceted, intense, and longing for human connection, DiSarro presents what fellow poet Sarah A. Chavez has described as "a compelling, quintessentially American working class world" that plays upon themes such as freedom, desire, joy, and disappointment, all while navigating the lives of those "perched on the edge" of the "Post-truth era" in America. Within the stark realities of these poems lies glimmers of hope and a yearning to make sense of a chaotic and often cruel world. With imagery that makes the invisible visible, DiSarro balances clarity with complexity, vitality with heartbreak, and precision with whimsy, as he searches for those places where freedom is not an abstract idea, but a way of life.
