Attention shoppers! I strongly recommend this book of poems for its acute sociology of consumer culture and its warm jazzy sense of humour. S*PeRM**K*T details the supermarket seen in its obscene reductive essence. "So this is generic life, feeding from a dented cant." Commodities, like they say, are us. After reading S*PeRM**K*T you will never look at a grocery aisle the same way twice. Ring on Produce--Tom Beckett
