Recenzii
"If you're in the market for a volume of poetry about money, this is the book for you!"
-Professor David Autor, Ford Professor of Economics, MIT
"'There's no money in poetry. But there's no poetry in money, either,' quoth Robert Graves, but this collection by Daniel Wolff certainly contradicts that notion. From dives into economic theories to exploring real life contradictions like Cuba's dual monetary system, Wolff advocates always for poetry, which surely exists only as a Gift Economy. And this book is indeed a gift for readers ready to savor the destruction of dollars and doubloons and the power of language in the service of imagination."
-Bob Holman, Founder, Bowery Poetry Club
"Daniel Wolff has written some poems - more rhyming than you might think, and some laughs, bitter and otherwise - on the unlikely subject of money. They won't make him rich, but they're very good things to have."
-Bill Irwin, Actor, Writer, Professional Clown
“Razor-sharp, deeply witty, sardonic meditations on the heart-stopping paradoxes of our compromised lives.”
-Jonathan Galassi
“In More Poems About Money, Daniel Wolff indicts global capitalism in a fury of wordplay, rhymes, squint-eyed sonnets, and puns. The older meaning of ‘indict’ is ‘to proclaim,’ and that is what these poems do as they decry modern enslavement to profit, ‘the street that sleeps on merchandise,’ a world where ‘trust’ rhymes with ‘bust.’ An angry and ingenious collection.”
-Rosanna Warren
"I promise you, Daniel Wolff is a wonderful poet." -Richard Howard

Prologue
There can't be more poems about money
because there haven't been any.
Nothing deep or funny
about a penny.
It isn't even real.
What people lose sleep over, kill to collect,
hoard, squander, steal -
is a promise. Inspect
the coin more closely;
it has no value, only stands
for value: gold we're mostly
told. What the teller hands
over - the un-poetic teller -
is a symbol. Legal. Tender.
