A collection of the most up-to-date socially committed poetry exploiting business newspeak.

Poetry

Money as a centre-point in history and the lives of individuals, the heart of capitalism supported by the everyday, omnipresent office planning with its measurable results. An efficiency model as the sole way to exist, how to survive? The common denominator of Pavel Zajíc’s poems is their setting in the terrible reality of the everyday. The author has a sense for precisely defining reality by examining the forms of its language: he shows how it has become deformed through the uncompromising nature of business and the office, which have become more of a life than home.
