What Now?: Poems for the Underemployed Recent Graduate

An evaluation of a generation during a time of some economic turmoil, where jobs are not as easy to find as they once were and which poke fun at the situation while maintaining that it is also something that should not be overlooked or understated. The book follows many common situations which many recent graduates experience, from struggles of the monotony of earning a degree, to graduation, to talking to strangers who think that they should have studied a "better" subject, to loving that last slice of leftover pizza, to that parent and older generation who think they are just lazy, to interviews and job searches. What Now? is a humorous view of subject seldom engaged openly; a generation underemployed. Like Generation Y itself, this book can make fun of the situation, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has its heart in the right place.
