Love Poems for Married People

你心情不好？是的。讓我們放下孩子們。淋浴。或許別喝太多。然後做一件我不願跟他人只願跟你做的事。躺在床上看我們的愛瘋。機鋒處處、觀察犀利、極度貼近現實，《給已婚者的情詩》以詩的形式，將之翻轉，然後把它放在洗碗機中烘乾。〈車流試驗我們的愛情〉，〈何時出發去機場〉等珠玉般的小詩，是John Kenney對現實生活中夫妻關係從閃亮到黯淡的風趣觀察。做父母之後的牢騷，逐漸減少的性生活，不再浪漫的禮物，還有惱人的個人習慣，都化作風趣的詩行呈現在本書中。2016年的情人節首度刊載，John Kenney為已婚者所作的詩集，很快地成為《紐約客》雜誌有史以來最受歡迎的篇章之一。藉由這本小詩集，一窺美國幽默文學獎Thurber Prize得主John Kenny以詩的形式幽默剖析夫妻生活的甘苦。Based on his wildly popular New Yorker piece, Thurber Prize-winner John Kenney presents a hilarious collection of love poems for, well, married people.First published on Valentine's Day in 2016, John Kenney's collection of poems for married people quickly became one of the most shared New Yorker pieces of all time. Full of hilarious wit, dynamic energy, and a heavy dose of reality, these poems took the seminal genre and turned it upside down and left to dry in the dishwasher. The original selection, featuring a range of topics from parental gripes to dwindling sex lives, is a perennial favorite, skyrocketing to the top of the New Yorker's most-shared list each year, and now Kenney is writing a collection of new poems that dig even deeper into what it's like to be married to the person you love.I was almost feeling fondness for youAs you gave me a shoulder massage at the sink--What a small, lovely surprise.And then you grabbed my boobs and made a "wha-wha" noise.In an instant, I felt disgust and sadness and regret.
