LOVE POEMS FOR PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN

In the spirit of his wildly popular New Yorker pieces and the New York Times bestseller Love Poems for Married People, Thurber-prize winner John Kenney presents a hilarious new collection of poetry for people with children.

With the same brilliant wit and hilarious realism that made Love Poems for Married People such a hit, John Kenney is back with a brand new collection of poems, this time taking on the greatest "joy" in life: children. Kenney covers it all, from newborns, toddlers, and sleep deprivation, to the terrible twos, terrible tweens, and terrible teens.

A parent's love is unconditional, but sometimes that button can't help but be pushed. Between back-to-school shopping, summer vacations that never end, the awkwardness of puberty, the inevitable post-college move home, and more, a parent's job is never done, whether they like it or not.

John Kenney is the New York Times bestselling author of the humorous poetry collection Love Poems for Married People (Putnam, December 2018) and the novels Talk to Me (Putnam, January 2019) and Truth in Advertising, which won the Thurber Prize for American Humor. He has worked for many years as a copywriter. He has also been a contributor to The New Yorker since 1999. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
