The poems in Money Shot are forensic. Just as the money shot in porn is proof of the male orgasm, these poems explore questions of revelation and concealment. What is seen, what is hidden, and how do we know? Money Shot's investigation of these questions takes on a particular urgency because it occurs in the context of the suddenly revealed market manipulation and subsequent "great recession" of 2008-2009. In these poems, Rae Armantrout searches for new ways to organize information. What can be made manifest? What constitutes proof? Do we "know it when we see it"? Looking at sex, botany, cosmology, and death through the dark lens of "disaster capitalism," Armantrout finds evidence of betrayal, grounds for rebellion, moments of possibility, and even pleasure, in a time of sudden scarcity and relentless greed. This stunning follow-up to Versed-winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and a finalist for the National Book Award-is a wonderfully stringent exploration of how deeply our experience of everyday life is embedded in capitalism.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 80 pages. Published in 2011. The author's eleventh collection of poems. One of Rae Armantrout's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition, which was published simultaneously with it. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original that sold out shortly after publication. The First Hardcover Edition is now scarce. Presents Rae Armantrout's "Money Shot". Otherwise known as the "cum shot", as metaphor for poetic liberation and release. "The charged openness of language is itself enough to power these poems. What makes 'Money Shot' such a success is Armantrout's ability to distill this linguistic energy without compromising the ability of these poems to make lucid associative connections. Let's play a game, Armantrout seems to say. This game has to do with language, and either it will destroy us or leave us alone on a sunny day. Take your pick" (Nick Sturm). An absolute "must-have" title for Rae Armantrout collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Rae Armantrout. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great collection. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are subsequent printings and the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2011 for "Versed". One of the greatest American poets of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER RAE ARMANTROUT TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 081957130X. Signed by Author.
