Description: "Ostensibly, Office Politics is about the modern workplace. It is about the relationship of the powerless to the powerful: the anxieties, tensions, frustrations, the daily psychological fare of those who have to satisfy the whims of bosses, work ever harder for the same pay (or less) while the snarling of the pit bulls of unemployment can be faintly heard through the ornate doors of the company fortress. Still, this is no sociological treatise set to free verse.

Nor is it a lighthearted comedy a la Dolly Parton and Lilly Tomlin - although the poet does infuse her sharp commentaries about office queens, workers (and drones) with humor."--BOOK JACKET.
