A book of poetry for anyone who has ever shopped - or worked in shops. But whether you find yourself wincing or laughing could depend on which side of the shop counter you're on at the time. Using consumerism as a platform, the collection gives insights to world issues including FGM and women in war and protest.
Anyone who has ever shopped--or worked in shops--will appreciate these poems that use consumerism as a platform to pass from the baby trade and female genital mutilation to protests of women against war and violence. Poems explore what it's like to be a young shopgirl; vent frustrations with today's supermarket society and the advertising and media industries; and take a nostalgic trip back to the days of the corner shop.
