This essay reads both the poems and theory of Vanessa Place (as well as her corporate entity, Vanessa Place, Inc) in an effort to not only reject, but also to repoliticize the claim, popular in conceptual poetics, that money can be conceptualized as a semiotic system, and that therefore avant-garde poetry is potentially a constitutively anti-capitalist practice.
