If You Know, You Know
IYKYK.png

In his second book and follow up to Time Calluses, Lee Poechmann explores numerous themes drawn from work, travel, and the urban condition.

 

Part I is a meandering exploration on the dichotomy between a job---one that may be rewarding yet simultaneously unappealing---and then the prospects and reality of no job at all. He uses a workday lens to probe self-worth, stress, sacrifice, failure, and the related anxiety of job loss drawn from his own recent unemployment.

Sandwiched between, Part II is almost folly: nine vignettes that name the mundanity of city life, such as a lost cat or waiting for the mail, with a touch of playful tongue-in-cheek humor, irony, and sarcasm.

 

Part III takes the reader on a journey of middle America. Using a series of trips to Missouri and the Midwest as a backdrop, the author captures cultural snapshots spanning from folklore and wry humor to the quirkiness and loneliness of life in a small town.

 

If You Know, You Know is a relatable, diverse collection on which to dwell.
