Kiser is a collection of light-hearted love poems written during the early 20th century. The book captures the innocent and naïve perspective of a young office boy as he pines for an older female coworker, navigating the emotions of youth, admiration, and jealousy. Through a series of sonnets, Kiser illustrates the bittersweet and often humorous experiences of first love in a workplace setting. The poems revolve primarily around the office boy's unrequited feelings for a typewriter girl he adores from afar. He amusingly imagines scenarios where he can impress her or become her hero, such as rescuing her from danger or winning her affection through acts of bravery. The boy's daydreams are filled with both longing and vulnerability, highlighting the contrast between his youthful innocence and the realities of adult relationships. As the narrative unfolds, it also touches on themes of heartbreak when the girl eventually gets married, leaving the boy to reflect on his feelings and desires for a love he can never obtain. Overall, Kiser’s work captures the tender and comedic aspects of youthful love with charm and sincerity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
