Thoughts for a Lonely Supermarket: Collected Poems and Other Works is the first book from Bay Area poet, playwright, and storyteller Gabe Crane. It is an expansive yet piecing collection that displays the full breadth of this young author’s ability and promise. Dealing deftly with subjects as varied as what it means to be of privilege, to high school sociology, to the problems of community in a modern world, Thoughts for a lonely Supermarket draws us into a young man’s experience with remarkable perception and wit. A voice has been born.
