Book synopsis

Alice in Wonderland meets David Brent: exploring the humdrum of 9-5 office work.

These days most of us earn our daily bread sweating over spreadsheets, agendas and unanswered e-mails. There are 10 million office-workers in the UK, sharing over 200 million square metres of office space. And yet office work has rarely been the subject of poetry. Graham Fulton writes with wit and compassion of the world of e-mails, post-its, tea-breaks and sickies, of the little rituals, the red tape and the flexi hours, punctuated by moments of mayhem.

"Here''s a poet who explores the world with wit, irony and intelligence..."
David Crystal
