What is Résumé about?

Rsum sees life as a series of jobs as splendid as the ditches of old Russia. Any job is both unspeakably ordinary and mercilessly strangea stock broker or pimps assistant, the same. And here, slipped between pages of work, you find a series of Jobless poemsa recurring state of being. Also poems about the jobs of vital relativesin the author's family, mangy is not a bad wordall with perfectly strong legs, all chasers with nowhere to run. In the end, the work of poetry becomes a refuge in the booka stillness at the end of the day. This a wonderful cycle of poems about working, class, America, being a guy, being a poet, being human. In order to do this book justice, a Studs Terkel quote is embedded in this blurb: Work is about a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying. Through the vehicle of various jobs, roles, labors, and employments -- manual, artistic, emotional, literary, familial etc. -- Chris Green gives us a lyric tour of human complexity, oddity, behavior and occupation. He has a novelists powers of observation. Rsum
