This book attempts to do something lasting with the dross of our daily lives: the ephemeral and momentary productions of the media, especially newspapers, magazines, and journals, are transformed into poems that draw the connections that have strung us all across recent history, doing much more than the word 'collage' usually implies. These are poems that join the dots, fill in the gaps, and suggest how poetry can once more be a tool for critique and engagement with the world as it is. Each poem tracks a different aspect of Capital over the recent past, with the proviso of using none of the author's own words, and using one quotation from a different periodical source per year.
