Description
This handmade, limited edition chapbook is the debut collection from poet Les Kay. This is a book that is at turns mysterious and terrifying, but seems to eerily foreshadow the Big Brother world we exist in today.
"Les Kay’s The Bureau is unlike anything I (or you) have ever read. A brilliant series of interconnected poems, it’s like Kafka and Berryman drinking poison tea while discussing the new normal. Funny, strange, and horrifying. Visionary. Bartleby the Scrivener on acid. Rimbaud’s appearance in these poems seems completely natural, inevitable really. Kay has his finger on the pulse of a monster here—a monster called The Bureau."
—Jim Daniels
