Office Poems by Cedar Lewisohn is a sharp, witty collection of poetry capturing the everyday frustrations, reflections, and quiet rebellions of office life. Written in 2019, these poems speak to anyone who's ever found themselves stuck in a meeting or lost in a spreadsheet, searching for meaning beyond the monotony.
This unique edition features translations into Jamaican Patois by writer, storyteller, and educator Joan Hutchinson, offering a fresh cultural perspective and rhythm to Lewisohn’s words. Accompanied by Cedar’s own hand-drawn illustrations - doodles inspired by long, tedious meetings - the book is both visually engaging and deeply relatable.
Perfect for readers who enjoy poetry with personality, cultural crossover, and a dose of dry humour.
