In this prompt from the archives Norwich poet and author John Osborne invites us to explore the poetic possibilities in the aisles of the local supermarket. Here are some tips from John:
- Visit a supermarket you don’t usually go to or go at an unusual time
- Make a list of words associated with supermarkets
- Write down memories, observations and other experiences associated with supermarkets
- Think about how these experiences relate to other parts of your life
You can find the full episode here.
