Working Class Represent

In her third collection of poetry, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz celebrates the ups and downs of being a poet with a day job. Whether she is exulting the mundanity of office life ("Ode to My Morning Cup of Coffee"), spotlighting the struggles of a poet trying to make it on the page ("Note(s) on Rejections") and on the stage ("To Whom It May Concern"), or capturing what it's like to live and work in 21st century New York City ("All I'd Leave Behind), Working Class Represent continues Aptowicz's tradition of witty, honest and idiosyncratic work.
