Critics Review

One of Fredericksburg Free Lance Star’s Best Books of 2019

“Packed full of laugh-out-loud poems that are all too relatable if you are married with kids—or just married.” –The Washington Post

“[A] hilarious look into parenting.”TODAY

“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

“Often profound, often hilarious, Kenney captures what it’s like to raise a human being from the ground up.”Cleveland Scene

“[Love Poems for People with Children] will be immediately relatable to all parents and a much needed laugh. So the next time you’re hiding out in a public restroom, like the subject in one of the poems, give this book a read.”Parkersburg News & Sentinel

“Perfect as a stocking stuffer for that soon-to-be-parent or the already-a-parent-I-never-realized-how-good-my-hair-looked-unshowered-for-four-days on your holiday list….These little gems make life glow a little brighter.”Fredericksburg Free Lance Star
