| book description |

Step into Pearlâ€™s world and take a tour around her faded seaside town, past the graffiti walls, bus stops and the old mattress factory. Except â€“ with Pearl as our guide â€“ the colours suddenly pop and every tiny detail becomes rich with interest. From the lido to the hair salon, to the Christmas shop in June, the ordinary becomes magical and every bit of wildness, weirdness and tattiness is whisked into the foreground. ""Pearl"" is an alter ego of the poet: she's a character who observes the minutiae around her and whose thoughts are a pleasure to follow. This pamphlet follows Pearl as she rollicks around, making her way through a townscape similar but not identical to the too-small-to-be-cities of poet Julia Bird's 70s & 80s childhood. from 'Clementine Pearl' The first time was a fluke. Subsequently, Pearl made plans to visit the Christmas shop at the edge of town every twenty-fifth of June; a day when even if it isnâ€™t hot, itâ€™s light, the day most likely the shopâ€™s most empty of people wanting winter or its antimatter to take into their homes.
