The gaffer

"Light is the preoccupation, vocation, and language of the GAFFER, the debut collection of poems by Celeste Gainey, the first woman gaffer to be admitted to the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), the preeminent craft union in the motion picture industry. These poems vividly depict the gaffer's terrain from the set of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, to Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon and The Wiz, to a lighting session with Lucille Ball.
