Synopsis

Funny…Acerbic…Delight after brilliant, tender delight…A read to savor —
that’s how other poets describe The Management has seized control of this book, a unique
new collection of poems from Jim Bohen.

With poems arranged by subject matter by a mysterious “Management,” the collection offers humor,
poems on love and “portraits” of others. It aims verbal darts, walks in others’ shoes and offers poems
that may be far too cute for their own good. The following also make appearances in the collection:

• An older cat who hasn't seen an explosion in a while
• The multiverse
• A Hollywood producer who wants Melville, Hawthorne and Dickinson in his action adventure
• The 2023 Canadian fires
• A Black teen who lives in a “cemetery”

Readers will find a satire on prejudice, a poem spoken by a gun that's shaped like a gun, and a poem
on the 10 poems you won’t survive — and the 10 you just might. Fake headlines, Death’s venture
into franchising, a poem by AI, heaven showing films of everyone’s life — it’s all in the book,
accompanied by poems on God, aging, mortality, war, the poet’s life and much more.

Serious, flippant, opinionated, clever, touching, biting — The Management is a testament
to what words can do when shaped by a poet at the peak of his craft.

Special note for poetry lovers: Don’t panic; the poet considers his work "real literature."
