Synopsis
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., "The poems in Millrat are full of blessed and flawed humanity, based on author Michael Casey's experience working in a textile mill in Lowell, Massachusetts, in the 1960s. This is a 25th anniversary edition of the book, with additional poems plus commentary by early reviewers and contemporary writers. The book gained national attention when first released in 1996. Poet Michael Casey writes, "My writing about the mills stemmed from the jobs during summers from college, undergrad school at the Lowell Technological Institute (LTI, now University of Massachusetts, Lowell) and then later when on leave from the State University of New York in Buffalo. A friend told me not to give the phony impression that the jobs there were at that time my career. Mention that here in compliance. I did not always work at a textile mill but for a book's setting in Lowell, the textile mill was appropriate. Lowell was where the other American revolution began. History. The Industrial Revolution. For any writer at any time you are apt to write about what you are doing. I have to say think of Robert Frost and apple picking or Fred Voss at the airplane factory and writing about factory work is not restricted to men. I can recommend here the wonderful books by Inez Holden. Author Jeanne Schinto wrote in The Nation magazine: "In 1972, when Michael Casey was twenty-four, he won the Yale Younger Poets award with a book called Obscenities. Stanley Kunitz called it "the first significant book of poems written by an American to spring from the war in Vietnam." . . . "Casey didn't see action in Vietnam; he was in the military police, assigned to the highway patrol and gate-guard duty. So it's no wonder that very little of Obscenities is about combat; instead, many of the poems illuminate the Army's pecking order and its hyper-logical nonsense. In Millrat, Casey explores the mill hierarchy, at times even more complex than the military's, since the rules there are less rigid and the consequences of disobeying them less certain. You may not lose your job, but you may lose face, which is often more valued. . . ." Poet Helena Minton says, "Michael Casey's Millrat, first published twenty-five years ago by Adastra Press in western Massachusetts, is a novel distilled, spoken in a series of distinctly American voices. These laconic, but visceral poems, with their blunt language, immerse us in the world of a textile mill, featuring characters whose mishaps, trials and escapades sometimes land them "on the outside lookin in." "In deceptively simple, yet startlingly original lines, Casey uses true sleight-of-hand. The job at the mill involves heavy machinery, dangerous chemicals and working with others who can't be counted on for much of anything. Even moments of downtime--at the coffee truck, a softball game, a picnic, or signing up for the company betting pool, with its byzantine rules--are fraught with complications. On first reading, we might be tempted look at the world of the millrat as absurd, but it is all too real, and we laugh at our own peril. Thanks to Loom Press, Millrat will remain in print. It already has the feel of a classic, and should be widely read and re-read."
