World of Hard Use

By Faye George

And the Lord God said, "By the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread. . . ." Gen. 4:19World of Hard Use is about earning that bread and the dignity of our labors. These poems are about work and workers, their ambitions and frustrations: blue, white, and pink collar workers; construction workers, factory workers, workers in offices, academies, kitchens. . . . They are about the employed and the unemployed; the exploited, and the marginalized. They are about hope and despair, resilience and endurance. -- Poems of doers and dreamers, artists and poets, of creativity and aspiration, success and failure. Poems about life, how we live our lives and strive to make them meaningful.
