“The opposite of not existing / is shopping,” writes Brandon Amico in his poem “Customer Loyalty Program.” Amico is one of five poets represented in “Getting and Spending,” a special section in the just-published Nov/Dec issue of the Kenyon Review. Both money and poetry are systems of symbols, notes section editor David Baker, who adds that while “poetry resists commodification,” it doesn’t stand entirely apart from commerce. The new issue of KR also includes work by the winners of the 2018 Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize for Young Writers, as well as fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
