Plumbers: poems [Paperback]

Poetry. Stewart, a plumber's son and a past plumber himself, explores the larger meaning of work and its place in the mind, the heart, and the family. There is an unexpected spirituality here and...a remarkable series of sepia-toned snapshots: of Italian immigrants, family dinners (the 'sacrament of pasta'), fatherly advice and childhood memories fused with the present, writes Steve Paul in theKansas City Star. Now in paperback.
