What do we talk about when we talk about money? As the forty-four
poets in this brilliant new anthology show, the answer is
everything. From the impact of global economic crises to local tag
sales, from the subversive effects of dark money on politics to the
freedom granted by a summer job, from sweatshops where our clothes
are produced to the malls where they are sold, this volume gets to
the heart of Americans' relationships to capital as only poetry
can. Editors Benjamin S. Grossberg and Clare Rossini selected poems
to reflect broad themes of labor, history and economic forces,
social equity, and the environment. In addition, they asked each
poet to provide a brief prose comment to introduce their work. Some
give broad statements on the nature of wealth in America today;
others are intimate, offering insight into how life experiences
inform their writing; still others reflect on the art of poetry
itself and its unique power to speak to economic pressures of the
moment. Contributors include Mary Jo Bang, Xochiquetzal Candelaria,
Alan Chazaro, Mark Doty, Denise Duhamel, Tony Hoagland, Yusef
Komunyakaa, Dorianne Laux, Kimiko Hahn, Sharon Olds, George
Perreault, Robert Pinsky, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Afaa Michael Weaver,
David Wojahn, and others.
