For SATB unaccompanied The text for this piece is a response to Allen Ginsberg's A Supermarket in California by Latvian poet Karlis Verdins, translated by Ieva Lesinska. Jackson exploits its dramatic intent, giving space for the text to come through by homophonic setting, pure harmonic language, and often sparse textures.
