The Business takes on the modern workplace with sharp-witted poems that sting like a paper cut. A former secretary, Stephanie Lenox positions herself as a poetic note-taker of the mundane. Organized by the classical components of Greek tragedy, these poems enact the relationships, heartbreaks, and small heroic efforts that make up our working lives. Think there's nothing poetic about annoying coworkers, endless meetings, and stained coffee mugs? Think again. While tragedy provides the organizational structure for this collection, humor plays a central role. This collection transforms office politics and paper clips into a funny and critical examination of the mortal rat race. If you've ever been fired, let go, unemployed, underemployed, or overlooked, these poems are for you. Begun on stolen reams of printer paper, this book reclaims the hours of our lives we give, out of necessity, to others in order to survive. 410 0$aColorado Prize for Poetry 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a811/.6 700 $aLenox$b Stephanie$01808052 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965681203321 996 $aThe Business$94358119 997 $aUNINA
