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.
