When the well-fed men in suits and ties and manicured fingernails talk about the official price of oil around the conference table or on TV, they want us to forget there is a price per barrel that cannot be measured in dollars. This is the human cost of getting the oil out of the ground.
Peter Christensen's Rig Talk brings an insider's look at the harsh and difficult working life in the oil patch. These are tough poems about a terrible job, destructive no less to the people who work at it than the landscapes it scars.
With their stark power, Christensen's poems bring home to us an unforgettable way what statistics on empoloyment on the rigs mean.
