Title: Fred Voss, a poet in a machine shop, the master of irony.
Product review: Goodstone is a collection of acutely perceptive poems about life in an American machine shop. Instead of the genteel life of an English professor that was ceratainly open to him, Voss chose to get his hands dirty. His poems are short and brutal, and they ring with deadly truth. Voss does not suffer fools or their hypocracy gladly. His observations cut to the bone, whether they are about his crude coworkers or his incompetent managers (think Dilbert with grease and foul language). Surprisingly uplifting. Sheryl Crow ought to make one of these into a hit, a la "All I Wanna Do is have some fun"...
