The Aureate Trophies of Profit & Loss (And Other Lyrics for a Cold World)

By Stuart McPherson

Stuart McPherson's The Aureate Trophies of Profit & Loss is a furious, darkly surreal excavation of life under late capitalism, rendered in a language that seethes, mocks, and mourns. Across aphoristic fragments, grotesque satire, and elegiac lyric, McPherson constructs a world of bureaucratic violence, ecological collapse, and psychic fragmentation, where corporate jargon mutates into a mode of dread. The collection's dissonant, propulsive style refuses stability, creating instead a poetics of overload and corrosion, part rage diary, part ritual of defiance.
