In Late Shift at the Pickle Factory Mary Dickins presents the reader with an intensely crafted patchwork of stories, reminiscences, observations and whimsy. These poems are tender, sad, joyful, surreal and ridiculous and always characterised by Mary's distinctive blend of wordplay, humour, poignancy and politics.
With wry humour, tenderness and a social conscience Mary Dickins invites us to recognise our own lives in her subject matter and themes and to celebrate with her all that is sublime and ridiculous about being human.
The key themes in inclusion are explored through an A – Z approach covering key concepts, theories / theorists, and figures.
