Climbing the Ladder

A collection of minimalist poetry that explores the hustle of the Canadian urban business world and thefrustration and futility of chasing a dream of success that might not exist in the current capitalist society. Even in Canada, we have been sold the idea of the American dream, by generations that could afford houses, cars, vacations homes, and big families on single incomes, without going into massive amounts of debt or require higher education. This is no longer the reality, yet we push for it. Concealing all our cracks under our suits, makeup, and accessories; hoping we can hold it together long enough to get a taste of that dream.This collection is completely relevant and relatable to any poetry lover and anyone working in a corporate environment.
