I simply love this book. Clemens Starck is a journeyman carpenter and a Master Poet. He can slop in muck building concrete forms while in his mind stepping back, thinking about the meaning of it all. He's funny, ironic, sad - and mostly he's passionate about work and about life. So many poets don't know diddly about real work. This man knows it in his fingers and in his heart - and he'll make you feel it, too. As a tradesman myself, I return to this book again and again thinking, 'Yep. He nailed it.' ( )
