Book excerpt: The Slaughterhouse Poems, Dave Newman's first full-length poetry collection, is a series of narrative poems that tell the stories of people often kept behind the scenes in American literature - slaughterhouse workers, bowling-alley managers, strippers, prisoners dreaming of better lives. Written in the spirit of world poets like Nicanor Parra and Nazim Hikmet, coupled with American grittiness, Newman's poems hold a place of their own - real, heartfelt, true.
