“Eunuch of Industry” draws its title from a phrase in Karl Marx's “Human Requirements and Division of Labour Under the Rule of Private Property.” This poem clashes alienated flows of capital with my own intimate urges of longing and need. In it, I seek to register how ‘human requirements’ are produced and foreclosed in a world of meaning entrapped by Amazon lockers, box trucks, Blue Apron deliveries, and Plato’s cave.

Cabo Verdean President and Poet Jorge Carlos Fonseca
"It’s quite curious that, when it comes to literature, I have published more since becoming president of the republic than I did before....I write in any situation: during a lunch; listening, as a function of my duties, to dull speeches; while I’m waiting during trips, most of all on long flights.
