"The Saints of Capitalism" is Benjamin Schmitt at his headlong, urgent, desperately funny best. These poems, both colloquial and meticulously wrought, offer the sense of looking outward from the center of a long emergency, where the everyday, the absurd, and the downright uncanny have begun to blend. But a deep humanity underlies Schmitt's sharp wit: Look at all that needs saving, he tells us, which also means that much is worth saving. What an exhilarating and consoling book this is!
