Plastic : A Poem, Paperback by Rice, Matthew, ISBN 1593768036, ISBN-13 9781593768034, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "A poem based on Matthew Rice's experience working in a plastic molding factory for ten years. Illustrating alienated twenty-first-century Irish labor in poetic form, plastic engages with the inflictions and implications of a "post-industrial," "post-Troubles" society while weaving in depictions of factory work from literature, film, and the visual arts. Time-stamped to highlight the claustrophobia of the worker's experience, Rice meditates on masculinity, sectarianism, and intergenerational trauma. But at its core is a poem about feeling a calling while being submerged in the world of menial labor--making plastic airplane parts by night, making poetry by day"-- Provided by publisher.
