A poetic satire built from real Rumsfeld quotes. Pieces of Intelligence turns defense-speak into absurd, brilliant poetry. Strange, hilarious, and one-of-a-kind.
 
What happens when political rhetoric becomes poetry? In Pieces of Intelligence, satirist Hart Seely compiles the unintentional verse of former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, transforming his press briefings and memos into hilariously profound “found poetry.” With titles like “The Unknown” and “Clarity,” these pieces expose the strange beauty and existential absurdity hidden within government jargon. Complete with commentary and context, this collection is part political satire, part performance art—and entirely original.
