'Dear Monday…' Love Notes to the Days of the Week

A cross between a journal and a conceptual art project, 'Dear Monday…' is Kevin J. O'Conner's first book that has nothing to do with poetry. What started out as a Facebook post on a frustrating Monday quickly turned into something of an experiment, in the form of an ongoing series of love notes to the days of the week, posted as blog entries. The notes themselves, each no more than about three sentences long, range from humorous observations about the day to existential queries, with various stops in between. They are purposely vague, as you might expect from love notes; this vague quality encourages readers to wonder what might be going on from day to day, and to draw their own conclusions. 'Dear Monday…' collects the first 365 entries in this series in book form.
