The determined days

"The sights and sounds and smells of day in and day out, of back and forth to the field, the tracks, the work site, of twilight and the inevitable next morning, of days lived in weary anticipation of the same: these are the themes, motifs, and rhythms Philip Stephens captures in The Determined Days, a debut collection that illuminates the lives of working men and women inhabiting distinctively American settings."--BOOK JACKET.
