Poems for the Garbage Man is a collection of poems written for real people. Author Vinnie Sarrocco wrote most of these pieces during late nights camped in the back seat of his sedan under the harsh glow of various Walmart parking lots across the country. His work often juxtaposes the whimsical with the macabre realities of reckless wanderlust and prove that someone with calloused hands still has something to say.

Vinnie Sarrocco is from rural North Carolina and now lives in Seattle. He has spent his life working everyday jobs, in warehouses, factories, and kitchens, leaving his mind free to wander. Poems for the Garbage Man is his first book.
