An elderly woman polishes her family dining table each day with
painstaking care. A man receives a long lost letter from an uncle
killed in the line of duty. A young child creates his own
imaginative dialogue to 1950s television shows. Ramblings of a
One-Eyed Garbage Man is Jim Hart's collection of poetry that spans
literary styles to capture an urban experience with profound social
concern, sardonic wit, and a humorous perspective on the world that
is certain to resonate with readers and thinkers everywhere.
Processing the world around him in an original yet uncomplicated
way, Hart crafts poems that are at once pure, sweet, and raw,
availing of multiple forms of verse to forge unique concepts for
the everyman. Born and raised in the 1950s in Brooklyn, New York,
Hart explores topics that draw from a certain time and place in the
urban American experience. The title of the collection is a nod to
the poet's own chosen profession as an employee of the New York
City Sanitation Department. From the fallout of romantic love to
the aftermath of war, these deeply personal, intimate takes on
life, death, and much that lies in between are both achingly sad
and playfully ironic. In some, such as "Leaps Of Faith" and "A
Questionable Youth," the poet shares snapshots of a Brooklyn
childhood; in others, like "Greenwich Village - 1967" and "Acid
Trip," he recalls the confusing urban landscape of 1960s New York.
Mining both treasured childhood times and the darker aspects of
humanity, the collection converges as a stirring journey of
heartbreak, family love, childhood, and coming of age. By casting a
searching eye on the depths and heights of humanity, each work in
Ramblings of a One-Eyed Garbage Man processes the past decades with
fine perception, moral clarity, and palpable heart. Readers who
value well-chosen words that are rich with life will treasure this
graceful, enlightening collection.
