Hammers and Hearts of the Gods

This American edition of HAMMERS AND HEARTS OF THE GODS, by machinist-poet Fred Voss, was originally published in the U.K. where it was selected a Book of the Year 2009 by The Morning Star. In the words of Tom Fulton from Poetry Review: "Most of the poems are vivid vignettes of factory life, but they are also much more. They comprise a wide-ranging social-political commentary that exposes class conflict, racial tension, and social injustice...In all the poems there is an earthy compassion that reflects true spirituality."
