Description: "In his debut, full-length collection, Shaw drills down using a series of narrative poems to consider the cost (in something more than dollars) of what it takes to feed a starving public that often finds those in the service industry to be faceless and replaceable. The work here hopes to celebrate and humanize the millions of service workers as neighbors and loved ones doing labor that is often forgotten or misunderstood. Scraping Away looks to achieve this by considering the person as more than just their job, exploring complicated family relationships and the angst of a Rust Belt adolescence."--
