New York Times Best Seller

“Based on his wildly popular New Yorker piece, Thurber Prize-winner John Kenney presents a hilarious collection of love poems for, well, married people.”

“Full of brilliant wit, dynamic energy, and a heavy dose of reality, Love Poems for Married People takes the poetic form, turns it upside down and leaves it in the dishwasher to dry. Inspired by one of the most shared New Yorker pieces of all time, this collection captures the reality of life once the spark of a relationship has settled--and hilariously so. With brand new pieces that cover all areas of married life, from parental gripes to dwindling sex lives, Kenney's wry observations and sharp humor remind us exactly what it's like to spend the rest of your life with the person you love.” - Penguin Random House

"Love Poems For Married People' Will Help Spice Things Up In The — Zzzzz.”
- Ari Shapiro, NPR News

“This book showed up for review about three weeks ago and the minute I tore it open, I was literally laughing so hard. The poems in this book are perfect for married couples. This book literally spoke to me in a way that no other ‘mommy and marriage’ article on the web could possible come close to.” - Anne Mendez, The Lit Bitch

“Jimmy and I sat on the couch and took turns reading every single poem in this collection. Most had us laughing so hard our faces hurt. A few were bittersweet and the last one (a heartfelt love poem for his wife) made me happy cry. Relatable and insightful and irreverent and accurate. JohnKenney, you’ve made a fan (two fans!!) for life.” - Stephanie Howell
