On the Line: Notes from a Fish Factory

Fragments of a worker's apocalypse. “THE EMPLOYEES” but actually worth a read. Reads a bit like Instagram poetry sometimes, but manages to keep hold my attention all the way through. How do you keep going when you are a poor worker in the capitalist hellscape of a modern fish factory? You write a few lines of prose-poetry, you look for solidarity in your comrades, you recite poems, you reminisce about the past, you sing.

Ponthus uses direct, raw language to depict a harsh reality. Reads like a song.
