In the spirit of his Love Poems collections, as well as his wildly popular New Yorker pieces, New York Times bestseller and Thurber Prize-winner John Kenney returns with a hilarious new collection of poetry--for office life.

With the same brilliant wit and biting realism that made Love Poems for Married People, Love Poems for People with Children, and Love Poems for Anxious People such hits, John Kenney is back with a brand new collection that tackles the hilarity of life in the office. From waiting in line for the printer and revising spreadsheet after spreadsheet, to lukewarm coffee, office politics, and the daily patterns of your most annoying--and lovable--coworkers, Kenney masterfully captures the warmth and humor of working the ""9 to 5"" in today's modern era.

Reviews for Love Poems for the Office

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 It's a witty reflection on the humiliations of work before and during the covid-19 pandemic. -The Washington Post A compendium of love poems to the we-never-thought-we'd-miss-it banality of office life-and a few clearly recent additions to our 'offices' at home. -Vanity Fair The fourth installment in John Kenney's bestselling 'Love Poems' series, this ode to office politics in the Zoom-era is spot-on, hilarious, timely, and just brilliant. -GMA.com The third installment in John Kenney's hilarious trifecta of tounge-in-cheek, laugh-out-loud poems, this New Yorker contributor's slim book pokes fun at everything we take for granted about #worklife. -Zibby Owens for Katie Couric Media ...Maybe the release is perfect timing-if readers want to fantasize about falling in love over lukewarm coffee and barely legible spreadsheets. -Willamette Week
