Dedicated to all of those staring at the clock waiting for lunch...

"Gell deftly takes down corporate culture in this incisive collection... An astute, entertaining appraisal of the daily grind." -- Kirkus Reviews

Tired of the corporate grind and yearning for something more?

Why readers can't put this book down:

• A sharp, satirical takedown of corporate life -- perfect for burned-out professionals and anti-establishment souls alike

• Wry, raw, and brutally honest poems set in the fluorescent glow of the office and the after-hours haze of San Francisco's North Beach

• Conversational and emotionally direct -- a poetic voice that's as accessible as it is cutting

• For fans of Bukowski, Brautigan, and the Beats, reimagined through the soul-draining reality of modern capitalism

Dreaming of North Beach (from Corporate America) is a bold debut poetry collection that captures the slow unraveling of identity inside a job that looks "good on paper." With biting humor, Deno Gell lays bare the strange contradictions of work-life in late capitalism, where ambition fades, middle managers push forward, and even burnout feels like a privilege.

These mostly free verse poems blend barroom candor with literary edge, navigating themes of disillusionment, aging, creative longing, and the brutal ache of being human in a system that flattens everything. From gut-punch confessions to laugh-out-loud satire, you'll meet hungover prophets, broken promises, and the fleeting magic that only happens at 3 a.m.

For anyone who's ever stared at a spreadsheet and wished they were somewhere else, this book is a window... or maybe a way out.
