The Exchange by Sophie Cabot Black

The Exchange

“The Book For You” —NPR, All Things Considered

In this new collection, Black explores the surprising interplay between mortality and money, between the next world and this one, between the language of disease and the language of finance. Following a beloved friend’s dying, these poems confront with stark emotion the aftermath, even as the outside world — the world of debts paid and collected, of power and dominion — intrudes. Hers is a look behind the curtain where exchanges are made, where deals mislead, doctors make decisions. How can profit and loss be measured, when the currency involved is love? Learn more…
