Description
Description
In the spirit of his New York Times bestseller Love Poems for Married People and Love Poems for People with Children, as well as his wildly popular New Yorker pieces, Thurber Prize-winner John Kenney presents a hilarious new collection of poetry for anxious people. With the same brilliant wit and hilarious realism that made Love Poems for Married People and Love Poems for People with Children such hits, John Kenney is back with a brand new collection of poems, this time taking on one of the most common feelings in our day-and-age: anxiety. Kenney covers it all, from awkward social interactions and insomnia to nervous ticks and writing and rewriting that email.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Kenney's sweet, funny poems about the banal and everyday--too-true nods to the intimacy of sharing a bed with someone without touching at all, or the nothing-speak of corporate communication--make great presents for spouses, friends, and work wives." --Vanity Fair
"This is a collection of poems rooted in the day-to-day minutiae of life's little stressors. Kenney is able to capture these moments with a comedic salve. There may have never been a moment when we've needed these more. Just like the daily affirmation app tells us: 'Today is going to be a great day.' And Kenney, like us, knows that it is not." --Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
