Reviews for Love Poems for Anxious People

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
