Major themes in this collection focus on the American working class. Many characters are vivid representations of American workers in blue collar jobs. Settings include plumbing and plating factories, brass factories, automobile manufacturing planets, as well as neighborhoods in Detroit.
The poetry finds its power as Levine reveals the inner lives of his characters.
According to Daniel Gyillory, minister, visual artist, and poet, Levine's poetry is accesible and moving and uterly American.
