Capitalism is a Death Cult is a groundbreaking international poetry anthology that confronts the relentless machinery of profit, burnout, and dehumanisation. Curated by Rebecca Rijsdijk, this collection gathers urgent, unflinching voices from the frontlines-care workers, artists, teachers, activists, migrants, mothers, and dreamers-each bearing witness to the daily costs of a world built on extraction and sacrifice.
The poems in this anthology do not look away. They grieve for lost rest, stolen time, vanished beauty, and the quiet dignity of lives too often rendered invisible by systems of endless growth. Yet within these pages, there is also fierce resistance: a refusal to let exhaustion, injustice, or despair have the last word. These poets write with rage and tenderness, clarity and aching hope, illuminating what it means to survive, love, and create in a society that commodifies everything-including us.
Capitalism is a Death Cult is a call to awaken, a lament for what's been lost, and a vision of what might still be saved. It is a book for the ones who keep going when the world tells them to break; for those who have stood in food bank lines, who have cared for others until their own bodies gave out, who have built beauty in the shadows. Every poem is an act of solidarity, a rebellion against the narrative that tells us we are alone, powerless, or unworthy.
This anthology features a diverse range of poets from across the globe, united by a shared commitment to truth, justice, and radical empathy. Whether you are a reader seeking solace, fuel for your own resistance, or a reminder that poetry still matters, Capitalism is a Death Cult will meet you where you are-and invite you to imagine what could come next.
