This review is from: Too Much Like Right and Other Poems About Postal Life (Paperback)
TOO MUCH LIKE RIGHT takes the term 'Going Postal' to a
different level. This short book of poems about postal life
candidly covers the day to day operations, frustrations and
limitations of something as basic and as necessary as the mail.
The poems touch on the recalcitrant supervisor, the co-worker
from Hades and even the money snatching vending machines. But
they also take you beyond the daily operations to discuss issues
like terroism, the anthrax scare, and their impact on the
ordinary citizen.
Ms. Greene's poetry is a small tribute to the endurance of
the mail carrier and a realistic peek into their world. This
book brings home the fact that postal workers are not machines.
These are very interesting antidotes seen through the eyes of
a poet.
