When The Hood Drops
After an accident shuts down the main employer in town indefinitely, Jake finds himself out of work, again. A chance meeting with a young man leads to a mentorship like no other. Jake encourages young Chico to join the local pipe fitter’s apprenticeship program and helps him get his first job. When it doesn’t work out because of Jake’s attitude toward authority, they both lose a good, local job. With no other prospects in town, the local business agent presents Chico with an opportunity to travel with Jake to another job. The catch; it’s across the country. Having never been more than an hour’s drive from home Chico reluctantly accepts the opportunity in hopes of helping his financially troubled family. The journey is beset with problems because of Jake’s inability to control his attitude and maintain his sobriety.
They meet a nice couple along the way who offer to assist in various ways but Jake’s pride hinders their progress. After several trials they finally land at their destination and Chico learns about true mentorship in a surprising way

What People are saying:
The Journeyman:
The speaker (author?) comes through with a seemingly blue collar bent. However, I suspect his natural inclination is more intellectual, more philosophical, especially with regard to his blue-collard-ness. For example, “Sonnet for the Traveler’s Wife” and “Sonnet for the Children” fall within traditional blue-collar topics: the workingman’s family. But there is an added intellectual twist: one is Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet, and one is English (Shakespearean) sonnet. And each follows the rigid rules of the form. The author (speaker?) maintains this unusual, yet captivating, voice throughout the book. Buy it!
Blue-Collar Poet
