"Frost said, 'The loveliest theme of poetry is the voices of the people,' and in this book David Rivard gives voice to the voiceless, unlovely, white, male, urban working-class not through the masks of a monologist like Masters or Robinson, but in the guise of himself, as he was and is, with relentless honesty."--Michael Ryan
