Book excerpt: The stock market is an arena of conflicting human emotions of fear, greed, diligence (& its absence). Nelson J. Kjos, a money manager, has found the inspiration for recognizing certain philosophical truths & apostrophizing them in poetry. Since the market in a very real sense is a microcosm of life, he has found that life & attitudes of the larger sense of life stimulate this artistic bent. The challenge of life & a constructive response are vividly expressed in his non-market poems. Diversified interests have been common throughout history; witness: Aristotle, Leonardo, Churchill, Samuel Clemens, Benjamin Graham. Time will tell!

Download or read book The Middle Finger written by Saikat Majumdar and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never afraid of taking risks, Saikat Majumdar has taken his place as one the most striking novelists writing today. – SHASHI DESHPANDE In prose of spare elegance and understated precision, Saikat Majumdar explores an ethical conflict around mentorship, as well as a welter of questions around creative compromise, cultural privilege and entitlement, including the insidious pressures on poets to be ‘snarky and snappy’. Here is a storyteller whose language is writerly yet beautifully unmannered, supple enough to combine irony with gentleness, finely-modulated observation with axiomatic ease. – ARUNDHATHI SUBRAMANIUM A novel of love and friendship, pleasure, pain and jealousy. – R. RAJ RAO What are the ethical boundaries of friendship and intimacy between a student and a teacher? Megha, a young writing lecturer in New Jersey struggles to finish her thesis and find full-time employment even as she begins to find underground fame as a poet. Restless and disenchanted, she lets her professor and friends persuade her to take up a position at a new university in Delhi. Moving continents, resettling in the city she knew as a teenager, she discovers that the university is an island of wealth and privilege, and that her mandate is to teach and train some of the key members of India’s ruling class. But her life as a teacher is disrupted as she makes a new friend who unsettles her and asks for unexpected support. In sharp and lyrical prose, The Middle Finger tells the story of a poet grappling with questions about mentorship and belonging, disrupting boundaries set by society and the hierarchies hidden in the world of education.

Download or read book Wall Street Revolution and Other Poems written by Charles Zeiders and published by il piccolo editions. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall Street Revolution and Other Poems draws on the perennial wisdom of the Western religious tradition to treat the disease of 21st century nihilism. These poems are at once comical, candid, prophetic, and even healing to the wound in the Western mind. The collection takes the reader on a journey through the Faustian bargains and idolatries that have defined the postwar and postmodern years. Like Dante, the poet shows that only Love and love can satisfy the needs of the individual and collective soul. In terms of the spiritual poetry addressing the madness of the postmodern moment, this work is unique and enlightening. "Zeiders’ poems renew and restore the power of language to open the eyes of the heart, ignite the senses, and prompt a longing for the bigger picture. Concrete and articulate, celebrative and profound, they are an incisive look at the postmodern world outside, and at the soul within it. These poems are a liberating read, and a walk in the Dark Wood with a rare, authentic story-teller, poet, and mystic."–Djohariah Toor, author of The Road By the River, A Healing Journey for Women, andSongs from the Mountain, The Four Directions to Spiritual Breakthrough.

Download or read book The Wall Street Poems and Time Traveling Short Story Series written by Anne Hart and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Hart's poetry and short stories series:Let me take on Wall Street in a chastity belt,Should the writer be viewed on her throne.Let me gulp my bonds like a patty meltShould words peak in my throat on the phone.Some, but not all of the poems, and not the Wall Street Series poems in this work, present submission, rage and guilt seen through powerless and vulnerable people under stress. Corrosive and negating, the freethinker in each poem is the internalized voice of a parent setting a child free, or belittling his/her child, or coercing it into the ways the parent finds least offensive. The individual grows, transcends past decisions, and chooses to be a freethinker. The heroines and heroes of the poems are always intense persons for whom life is a succession of traps created by spouses and themselves, by personalities that have the habit of confinement, but choose instead, freethinking. These freethinkers begin to grow, nourish, and transcend from their parent's past passions of jailed lives -- the desperate loves that go reeling in the most rebellious directions, love of career versus lack of career fulfillment, or the relationship of husband and wife raging and violent. The most intelligent women may be mindless in marriage, so unable to set limits that they are easily controlled by the threat of poverty or by their battering husbands, until they reach a point of freethinking. They let themselves sink into the most abysmal misery, a wretchedness so total it destroys their ability to react at all, and then from that point transcend their choices to learn from free thinking how to stand on their own two feet and pull their own weight while being interdependent on their new choices. They may bolt. But once free, they will do it all over again. Despite the intelligence of the characters in the poems, they never gain enough insight into themselves to get off the treadmill of submission, rage and guilt. They think with the logic of the psychically jailed, for which even working is a process as closed as a knot. They retreat from knowledge into the huge abstractions of politicized sexism... until they become freethinkers. Here is the anguish of characters doomed never to face their brokenness, never to say -- I want, I need, but to conceal themselves in marriage where the most exciting thing is getting battered and being too agoraphobic to escape. The characters in the poems feel that they are always liable to sink into a total passivity where they have no eyes, no mind, and no will. They are battered between their family's love and their ridicule. Each character becomes the person she hates most and then transcends past choices through free thought, possibilities, and alternatives. These poems and some of the stories are protests against the human condition both for its finality and its rigidity due to conventional stereotypes in sex roles. The poems and stories are concerned in concrete ways with contesting the origins and ends of human identity and finding a voice of confidence and resilience by transcending past choices into freethinking, critical thinking, and restructuring the craft of creativity as a healing tool. And then, in the stories that follow, they become freethinkers. The stories include male and female characters choosing to grow and transcend, achieve measurable results, and find rational solutions to their problems using free thought and exploring mind-body-spirit, creativity enhancement as a tool of change, debating symbolically Mother Nature and Father Time, and considering new science as a state of mind. And then, there are the neutral Wall Street Poems, longing for a career that leads to financial self-sufficiency.The characters in the five short stories may reveal how "Every wife is a mirror of her husband's failures, and every husband a survivor of his wife's successes."

Download or read book Wall Street Bulloetica written by Ashkum Ashwick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wall Street Bulloetica" is a poetry book that illuminates the history of the famous Wall Street Bull statue, located in the financial district of New York City. The statue, a creation of sculptor Arturo Di Modica, was initially erected one night in secrecy in 1989. The speaker explains that at first, the city officials forced its removal. With the help of prestigious businessmen and high officials, a new home was found for the bull, and the statue was restored. Although on a temporary permit, the people of New York could not bear its removal and so it has remained, although not without controversy. From its mysterious initial placement, the efforts to get it restored in a new location, and most recently the objection to the placement of the "Fearless Girl" statue in front of the bull, Di Modica has consistently fought for his statue. Two protest movements have used it as their symbol, one of which being the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. According to the speaker, the statue has also become famous in the United States and abroad, making it a popular sight for tourists. In addition to this worldwide attention, Americans also share affection for the statue, rubbing it for good luck, taking pictures, or just gazing at it in awe. The Wall Street Bull has become a fixed symbol of resiliency and revival after financial difficulties, reminding all that there is hope.

Download or read book Red Tailed Hawk on Wall Street written by Lee Slonimsky and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again in "Red-Tailed Hawk on Wall Street" Lee Slonimsky shows himself to be a scientist-poet, a mathematician-poet, a conjurer poet. Slonimsky's is a unique and generous vision that teaches us how to experience the natural world in its stunning originality as if for the first time. The poet's sense of being at one with nature is powerful because it is both metaphoric and literal. Just as the poet envisions a transmigration of souls, the poems transmigrate from the present to something eternal. This is a book of great range: in form (some sonnets, some not), in content (there are love poems, persona poems, humorous poems, solemn ones), but all ""glide through early mists." For there is an honest and lovely optimism that leaves the reader refreshed: as Slonimsky wisely says in "Pythagoras Looks Ahead," ..".transmigration is the greatest gift/that atoms in their weavery allow. No time to mourn each phase that he has left: /each new form's all the world that he can know." Slonimsky's is a vision of the world that should not be missed. Elizabeth J. Coleman, author of "Proof" In these sonnets and alter sonnets Lee Slonimsky weaves a unified field where the Red-tailed hawk in Manhattan and the stock trader in the Catskills thrive. From ferns to stars, atoms to galaxies, mystical mathematics to dragonflies, we are reminded that "The wind may soon be your identity./ It rustles leaves, then stills; a night bird flutes/ and empty seems the new geometry." Always witness to an underlying order in all things, within the signature of all things, Slonimsky's poems trace the lineaments, the outlines of that order which can never be fully disclosed because it is infinite, but can be gleaned through poetry. His hawks soaring and circling above Wall Street are more than metaphor, but a truth that nature is always poised to reclaim us as her own. This insight becomes reconfigured in these lively, re-invented sonnets and poems fresh and vibrant with the poet's embrace of intuitions ancient and daily. Stuart Bartow, author of "Einstein's Lawn" Lee Slonimsky's "Red-Tailed Hawk on Wall Street" is a triangle of poetry with Wall Street, Nature, and Pythagoras as the three sides. His muse is the red-tailed hawk, who flies over city and field-sometimes as predator, other times as observer. Slonimsky's skillful sonnets include a delightful one in which different trees boast particular dialects. There are fine romantic poems set in Italy and France, and everywhere this most unusual stock trader reveals his poetic soul. Carolyn Raphael, author, "The Most Beautiful Room in the World "and "Dancing with Bare Feet"

Download or read book Songs of Wall Street written by Michael Silverstein and published by . This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You're making deals. You're watching the market. Who has time to wonder what Robert Browning or Emily Dickinson meant when they wrote their antiquated 19th-cent. verse? Here, Silverstein, "Poet Laureate of Wall Street," translates masterpieces of English poetry into a market-savvy language that today's investors can understand. Shakespeare's "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" transforms into "Shall I Declare Thee to the I.R.S.?" Christopher Marlowe's "A Passionate Shepherd to His Love" become "A Passionate Broker to His Client." Lord Byron's immortal "She Walks in Beauty, Like the Night" is reborn as "She Walks to Work, at Goldman Sachs." A miracle of translation -- suddenly, all of the classic poems make cents!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this astounding account, Wall Street’s notorious bad boy—the original million-dollar-a-week stock chopper—leads us through a drama worthy of The Sopranos, from the FBI raid on his estate to the deal he cut to rat out his oldest friends and colleagues to the conscience he eventually found. With his kingdom in ruin, not to mention his marriage, the Wolf faced his greatest challenge yet: how to navigate a gauntlet of judges and lawyers, hold on to his kids and his enraged model wife, and possibly salvage his self-respect. It wasn’t going to be easy. In fact, for a man with an unprecedented appetite for excess, it was going to be hell. But the man at the center of one of the most shocking scandals in financial history soon sees the light of what matters most: his sobriety, and his future as a father and a man.

Download or read book The Wolf of Wall Street written by Jordan Belfort and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids waiting at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort’s own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street. In the 1990s, Belfort became one of the most infamous kingpins in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. It’s an extraordinary story of greed, power, and excess that no one could invent: the tale of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices to making hundreds of millions—until it all came crashing down. Praise for The Wolf of Wall Street “Raw and frequently hilarious.”—The New York Times “A rollicking tale of [Jordan Belfort’s] rise to riches as head of the infamous boiler room Stratton Oakmont . . . proof that there are indeed second acts in American lives.”—Forbes “A cross between Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities and Scorsese’s GoodFellas . . . Belfort has the Midas touch.”—The Sunday Times (London) “Entertaining as pulp fiction, real as a federal indictment . . . a hell of a read.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Good Bones written by Maggie Smith and published by Tupelo Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu
