| Description |
Paper or Plastic explores the role of supermarkets and the dense net of class, sex, and race politics to be found therein. Through this collection of poetry, I examine the queasy culture surrounding consumer space. I broach topics such as the balance of America's societal scales, our notions of justice under capitalism, and the morality of our behavior as consumers. Through an intersectional lens, and through an analysis of the poetry of Allen Ginsberg, Gertrude Stein, and Harryette Mullen, I strive to unpack the various ontologies of the consumer space both personally and academically. |
