I loved this book because it proved that you can write poems about the simplest, most everyday experiences and make them fresh, funny, fascinating, and new.

The whole book consists of poems based on the poet's experience working in a grocery store in the Midwest. I've never looked at groceries the same again.

And who knows? Inside every ordinary-looking clerk, maybe there's a poet.
