Abstract

This collection of poems examines the inner and outer landscapes of construction sites, and the psychic and physical damage sustained both by men and the land during periods of economic surge. The colloquial speech of construction workers is combined with the density of expression, muscular diction, and musical phrasing expected of poetry.
