The Sorry History of Fast Food

Angry and satirical, yet tender, Paul Sutton's poetic tour through fast food outlets tells us much about where we, and our society are now.

"

The Sorry History of Fast Food moved me deeply.

It’s an elegy to all that we lost through modernity, a

quiet mapping of the disorientation and atomisation

that we feel. The poetry itself is a kind of yearning

for unity. There’s something disturbing about the

way Sutton puts words together - like some great

broken structure lies behind it all. Intimacy perhaps.
