"With The North End Poems, Michael Knox has honed his lucid, accessible poetics to razor sharpness. This book is both gritty and tender - it's also the kind of rare and vivid lyric sequence that creates a desperate but sustained and surprising narrative." "Channeling the beliefs, passions, fears, friends and fights of Nick Macfarlane, a young steeltown warehouse worker, Knox creates the kind of hardscrabble, blue-collar world that exists everywhere. Benders and punchups, beaters and punchclocks, give The North End Poems the means to explore notions of masculinity in both familial and social environs. Because this is a world largely without the presence of women, Nick's perspective takes a significant turn when he meets someone from the other side of the tracks - a university student named Carla who challenges him to think about a life beyond the north end and outside of what he thought possible."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
