Process Senryū

On corporate life in trying times

An illustrated collection of senryū about overwork, inbox fatigue, urgency culture, and the strange theater of modern knowledge work. What started as a small coping mechanism, writing short poems observing daily interactions, slowly became a book, and now it's here.

Each short poem pairs with expressive black-and-white illustrations exploring meetings, invisible labor, recognition systems, reply-all storms, and the quiet pressures that shape our days.

Launching March 19.
