Review
It's terrific, I am really enjoying it. When I first picked up The Poetry of Business, I didn't know what to expect. But on my initial flip through I became more intrigued by its depth and content. The Poetry of Business is a book about life moments, captured in Tracy's varied style of poetry. From playful, to serious, to spiritual, to thought provoking, I found myself experiencing a wide array of emotions. Tracy selected business as her first release because she has been an entrepreneur for almost 20 years, and realized it is where many of us spend a large majority of our time. She takes sound business and life advice, and sometimes comical business blunders, and turns them into various types of poetry, all the while teaching us. The Poetry of Business is funny, insightful, easy-to-read, and uniquely structured. I definitely recommend picking it up.

It's terrific, I am really enjoying it....what a 'novel' idea. -- Stacey Lynn Newman, Regina Weese Magazine, August 13, 2003

The Poetry of Business was an absolute eye-opener. Since starting my own business, time is a much more precious commodity, but the time devoted to the book was exceptionally well spent. For anyone who has ever had to balance life and business, this book is simply good for the soul. It s thought-provoking and relevant to what we all go through, whether self-employed or working for someone else. Tracy has keen insights into the corporate world, and is able to express that understanding through poetry. I felt like she was speaking to me personally about my struggles, my success and the juggling we all do. When I hit Bored Room, that s when I realized you were speaking to me directly. Just get the book: enjoy it, learn from it, and appreciate some fine poetry in the process. --Daniel Weist, President of Weist & Associates

Customer Reviews

Totally unique integration of poetry and business
I bought this book while at the Eden Mills Writers Festival, and as a business man it was the only book I could see worth looking at (my wife dragged me there). But it was hilarious. As soon as I saw the poem Midlife Crisis, I knew it would speak to me, and it did. It takes you from the beginning of your career, right to the end, and makes you think about what you're doing.
If you have a job, and are wondering if you're on the right track, check out this book
Two thumbs up!
