Love Poems for Married People Audiobook (Free)

NEW YORK Occasions BESTSELLER

Based on his wildly well-known New Yorker piece, Thurber Prize-winner John Kenney presents a hilarious assortment of love poems for, very well, married people.

Full of brilliant wit, dynamic energy, and much dose of reality, Love Poems for Married People needs the poetic type, turns it ugly and leaves it in the dishwasher to dry. Inspired by perhaps one of the most shared New Yorker pieces of all period, this collection catches the reality of life after the spark of a relationship offers settled–and hilariously therefore. With completely new items that cover every area of married life, from parental gripes to dwindling sex lives, Kenney’s wry observations and sharpened laughter remind us just what it’s like to spend the others you will ever have with the person you love.

I was nearly feeling fondness for you

As you offered me a shoulder massage on the sink–

What a small, lovely surprise.

And you grabbed my boobs and made a ‘wha-wha’ sound.

In an instant, I experienced disgust and sadness and regret.
