Tristan Kendo

A Poet Working in the Supermarket Tristan Kendo

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.
