It argues that recent poems about economics not only discuss but enact concerns with containment and agency essential to the contemporary financialized economy by manipulating the seemingly old-fashioned figures of synecdoche (the representation of the whole by the part) and prosopopeia or personification. Its four body chapters offer in-depth readings of the work of eleven formally, culturally, and thematically diverse contemporary U.S. and Canadian poets who variously consider labor, consumerism, debt, and the derivative form; the Coda reads several recent poems about reparations in terms of an emerging tendency to emphasize the historical, racialized, and ethical contexts of contemporary economics. As the book explores financialization's representation in recent poetry, it redresses arguments that poetry is irrelevant to contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Keniston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031393406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031393402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Ann Keniston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44860310651135,"sku":"9783031393402","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36a9a1cb-6adc-4499-8f89-c26b2a9ccfe3.jpg?v=1709135802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/economies-of-scale-ann-keniston-9783031393402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
