Overview
In "Millrat," poet Michael Casey accounts for the working days and interior lives of fellow laborers in a textile factory on the Merrimack River in Lowell, Massachusetts. As he does in his remarkable collection of poems "Obscenities" (Yale Younger Poet Award, 1972) that brought the Vietnam War home to readers, Casey makes the shop floor come alive in the voices of co-workers and vivid scenes behind the brick wall of the mill. The episodes are frighteningly dangerous, wildly funny, and distinctly mundane as employees perform tasks and navigate the occupational power structure. This special 25th anniversary edition includes reprints of book reviews dating to the first printing in 1996 and new commentary by writers who know him, in particular the editor/publisher of "Millrat" in the original. The book has been called "authentic," "a genuine work of art," and "classic." Casey draws on summer job experiences when he was in college in the 1960s, a period when the last of the Lowell mills were hanging on.
