Occupational Phenomena by Henry St Leger is a razor sharp pamphlet that turns the language of job interviews, productivity culture and corporate aspiration into a theatre of surreal dread. Framed through familiar recruitment questions, these poems and prose pieces expose work as fantasy, coercion, performance and slow apocalypse all at once, where CV gaps become liberation myths, children dance through burnout, and ambition mutates into something monstrous and absurd. St Leger's voice is deadpan, funny and quietly furious, drawing on sci-fi, tech culture and classed experience to show how the future of work is already deforming the present. This is a brilliant, unsettling pamphlet about labour, selfhood and the strange violences hidden inside professional speech.
