The poems in Money Shot are forensic. Just as the money shot in
porn is proof of the male orgasm, these poems explore questions of
revelation and concealment. What is seen, what is hidden, and how
do we know? Money Shot's investigation of these questions takes on
a particular urgency because it occurs in the context of the
suddenly revealed market manipulation and subsequent "great
recession" of 2008-2009. In these poems, Rae Armantrout searches
for new ways to organize information. What can be made manifest?
What constitutes proof? Do we "know it when we see it"? Looking at
sex, botany, cosmology, and death through the dark lens of
"disaster capitalism," Armantrout finds evidence of betrayal,
grounds for rebellion, moments of possibility, and even pleasure,
in a time of sudden scarcity and relentless greed. This stunning
follow-up to Versed--winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National
Book Critics Circle Award, and a finalist for the National Book
Award--is a wonderfully stringent exploration of how deeply our
experience of everyday life is embedded in capitalism.
