Trade Winds: Persons, Places, Things by John F. Sherry, Jr.

$14.99

 

Idylls of the marketplace.  The author speaks whereof others remain silent.  Tennyson is turning in his grave, dreaming of swords in stones.  Sherry unsheathes the spirit of consumer society and finds Avalon in Avon.

–Stephen Brown, author of The Lost Logo

 

Sherry combines classical erudition and an anthropologist’s eye with consummate artistry, using that unique combination to exalt the most mundane human behaviors. The redemption he offers applies equally to manufacturers’ coupons and bewildered human souls. Every poem is an archaeological dig into the emotional sediments of a civilization buried in its own excess.

–John Schouten, author of Notes From the Lightning God

Sherry, Jr. is an anthropologist who studies how people animate the material world.  He has investigated marketplace behavior and consumer experience for over four decades, and has enjoyed the challenge of translating his field work into poetry each step of the way.  He has published extensively, and is a pioneer in the use of arts-based research in his home and host disciplines.  In this book, Sherry explores the nexus from which our appreciation of the nuances of consumption emerges.
