In Retail

While working in a well-known pharmacy chain, Jeremy Dixon found surprising inspiration. His poems were written on the ends of till rolls and smuggled out in his socks. Anyone who has ever worked in retail will recognise the characters and situations, and the magnificent management absurdities; but Jeremy also bring his perspective as a gay man to bear with witty and wicked results.

Jeremy Dixon was born in Essex and spent 45 year in rural South Wales making Artist's Books that combine poetry and photography. He now lives on the Wirral. His poems have appeared both online and in print in Roundyhouse Magazine, Riptide Journal, Lighthouse Journal, Durable Goods, and Really System, among others. Arachne Press published his first poetry pamphlet, In Retail, and his first full collection, A Voice Coming From Then, which won the Wales Book of the Year 2022 Englsih Language Poetry Category
