A luminous, darkly playful collection of poems that moves with equal ease through myth, scripture, history, domestic life, and the surreal textures of contemporary existence.

In three interwoven sections--King David, Loose Change, and Life with Atropos--Sam Magavern's Loose Change reimagines biblical figures, philosophers, ordinary laborers, animals, and dreamers with a voice that is by turns comic, tender, metaphysical, and elegiac. These poems assemble a mosaic of loss, desire, absurdity, memory, and endurance, finding flashes of beauty and meaning in the discarded, the humble, and the half-forgotten. With formal agility and a distinctive wit, Loose Change affirms poetry's power to transfigure the everyday while confronting time, mortality, and longing with both gravity and radiance.
