The Velvet Ghetto is a collection of twenty-five interconnected poems that together create a compelling narrative in verse. The book powerfully explores what happens when workplaces prioritize obedience over originality.
Anyone who has worked in a corporate environment will easily connect with the emotions woven into each poem.
โLife Sentenceโ stands out as a striking piece that captures the feeling of being trapped within a corporation. Dustin vividly portrays how employees often end their days feeling miserable, burned out, and completely exhausted.
The poem โBetter Opportunities” highlights how employees live in a state of fearful obedience, lacking the courage to speak up and instead choosing to remain silent while they suffer.
Drawing from his own experience in Corporate America, Dustin brings authenticity to this collection. As someone who has also worked a 9-to-5 job, I found this book deeply relatable. The language is simple and accessible, making the poems easy to follow. Iโm truly glad I had the opportunity to read this book.
