Editorial Reviews:
Normally you would find poetry in anything but a supermarket. In this book, a cashier turned poet, transcends his low paid job by writing about real and imaginary characters and making connections between supermarket related items and the human condition. Funny and witty, Tristan Kendo has been influenced by the periodic table of elements of Primo Levi, Andy Warhol's pop art, western and oriental philosophy, the Bible, the monologues of Robert Browning, and Japanese poetry.

Customer Rating: Summary: Truly Witty: Tristan Kendo Has Produced a Modern Masterpiece Comment: I was at first intrigued by the title of Tristan Kendo's collection of poetry and this was my initial reason for buying it. Soon, however, I became entranced by his wit and hyper-energetic activity. The poems, initially appearing simplistic, reveal a depth of character now rare in contemporary poetry. Both poignant and inspiring, they are a pleasure to read. This is a brilliant, complex and compelling analysis of emotions and their significance in personal and social life. Kendo is a masterly thinker of immense learning whose convincing argument culminates in the affirmation of the daily reality of the reader. Pick up Tristan Kendo's book-- it will make you laugh and cry all night long.
