More Poems about Money<\/em><\/h1>\n

Daniel Wolff<\/h2>\n

What do global combat and property ownership have to do with sex and sea turtles? According to Daniel Wolff\u2014as it turns out, everything. More Poems about Money<\/em> looks at the economic times we live in, from boom to bust, from the suburbs to the warzone, in a voice that ranges from humorous to desperate. Grappling with monetary value and how it infringes on self worth, Wolff asks simultaneously timeless and timely questions\u2014Who has capital, who doesn\u2019t, and does that ever change?\u2014in a style both humorous and unflinching, sparing not even himself. \u201c\u2018The market runs on credit,\u201d Wolff reminds us, \u201cwhich romantics call yearning. \/ A flame. Or a sonnet.\u201d Yes, art also participates in capitalism as our lyrics stoke the fire of want, fueling this system and getting snuffed by it. Pivoting from the Great Recession toward today\u2019s crisis, this undaunted book illuminates the transactions we aren\u2019t supposed to talk about, beckoning us toward the future we can\u2019t imagine… yet.<\/p>\n

“Prologue,” from\u00a0More Poems about Money<\/em><\/p>\n

There can\u2019t be more poems about money
because there haven\u2019t been any.
Nothing deep or funny
about a penny.
It isn\u2019t even real.
What people lose sleep over, kill to collect,
hoard, squander, steal\u2014
is a promise. Inspect
the coin more closely;
it has no value, only stands
for value: gold we\u2019re mostly
told. What the teller hands
over\u2014the un-poetic teller\u2014
is a symbol. Legal. Tender.
