“An absolute joy” – Greg James, Radio 1

John Osborne, Norwich-based poet and writer of sell-out shows, radio-adapted stories and Sky One scripts, joins us on Meet the Poet with his stunning poetry collection A Supermarket Love Story – a book which embraces all the lives, love and joy you can find in those seemingly-ordinary supermarket aisles. A must-read for all the people-watchers and everyday romantics of the world.

“We meet two paramedics in the crisps aisle, a butcher on the meat counter who is considering vegetarianism, love blooms as two people on their own with baskets say hi to each other. We join staff with untucked shirts sitting on kick stools stacking shelves and find that every aisle really does tell a different story.”

'His work has a winning gentleness, a seductive voice that draws you in, ensnares you and captivates you.'
-Ian McMillan
