Poetic Justice (2013) was one of Mary Laura Philpott’s first books and an early showcase of her wit. The book leans into wordplay and comedic observations, establishing the kind of voice that would later carry her memoirs and essays to a wider audience.
While Philpott is now better known for I Miss You When I Blink and Bomb Shelter, Poetic Justice is a good starting point for readers who want to see where her humor writing began. It is a quick, entertaining read that reflects her interest in finding comedy in ordinary life.
