This little volume is comprised of two long theological poems which address cosmology, speculative capitalism, nuclear diplomacy, real estate, pornography, and international relations. The first poem, Sunbathing I Want To, is premised around an extended conceit which compares New York City to the ancient city of Carthage, but its scope expands much wider to encompass both the cosmic and the particular. Its thematic sequel, Scipio Aemilinaus, is an attempt to lay the foundation for a positive, alternative theory of value to replace the idols of late capitalism, which takes the form of a diary covering personal, global, and liturgical events in the last days of 2019 and the first days of 2020.
