The Same Dead Songs
A Memoir of working-class addiction. "If you're working class, you understand that no one understands you." Dave Newman's fierce and jittery memoir reveals, in unsanitized detail and naked, smart reflection, the story of a working class casualty--or near casualty--that a less honest, less inquisitive writer might avoid. In this exquisitely paced, wrenchingly beautiful tale of addictions, of needing help, of helping and not helping, of fighting and surviving, of the will and wonder and work of loving hard, of brokenness and the precarious impulse to apply the glue and clamp ourselves back together, Newman proves that he is beyond truth-seeker. He is a truth be-er. The Same Dead Songs is a darkly enjoyable, heart-opening schooling. --Nancy Krygowski, The Woman In The Corner
Please Don't Shoot Anyone Tonight
When Matt's girlfriend Susan decides she's pregnant, everything explodes. A plan to rob the paint store where Danny works part-time becomes the only way to raise the money Susan needs. But Danny's not a good thief, Matt's unraveling, and Susan is desperate and capable of more than they know. Somewhere between a James Cain novel and a Larry Clark photo, PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ANYONE TONIGHT details a world where parents barely exist, lonely adults can't always recognize teenagers, and the only way to save yourself is by making everything worse.

The Slaughterhouse Poems
The Slaughterhouse Poems, Dave Newman's first full-length poetry collection, is a series of narrative poems that tell the stories of people often kept behind the scenes in American literature - slaughterhouse workers, bowling-alley managers, strippers, prisoners dreaming of better lives. Written in the spirit of world poets like Nicanor Parra and Nazim Hikmet, coupled with American grittiness, Newman's poems hold a place of their own - real, heartfelt, true.
The Poem Factory
THE POEM FACTORY is where you end up when the world no longer wants you. These are poems set in the corners of America seldom mentioned in poetry. Waitresses and strippers, truck drivers and store managers, outsider poets and welders fill the pages with their lyrical insights, their midnight desires, their miseries and their hope. Here are the good times against the bad times. In The Poem Factory, Frank O'Hara is the world's laziest mover and Walt Whitman is a guiding light. Wal-Mart looms and the student loan people want their money back. Temp work is a career choice. Getting your teeth cleaned is a luxury. Written in the spirit of world poets like Nicanor Parra and Nazim Hikmet, coupled with pure American Grit, Newman's poems start where most poems stop. He tells truths we're all embarrassed to know. "Dave Newman is an immense talent " -Donald Ray Pollock, The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff "Dave Newman is the truth about America. He is lyrical and outrageous and tells the saddest stories I know. In The Poem Factory, he shows our great decline and how we don't know how to fall. This is a beautiful, powerful book."-Mohammed Pouchek
