Economy as Intimacy
Eric Peter
Economy as Intimacy Vol. 1
This poetry publication reframes the supposed sacredness of the economic subject to a matter of creating spaces for inter-human relations.What is lost when words are wasted? and Who profits when words are saved? ‘Economy’ is the root cause of a variety of problems in our current world order. Living in a capitalist society in particular, we engage in a lifestyle based on self-improvement in material and financial spheres often eschewing spirituality and, importantly, relation. If we are to overhaul the leitmotiv economics has become, we need to start transforming the way we engage with economics through our public and, most pertinently, private lives. Intimacy is an act of connectedness, closeness and communalism, but this making of relations is as much a form of exchange. The poems in this publication reframe the supposed sacredness of the economic subject to a matter of creating spaces for inter-human relations. This does not entail romanticising the subject, but rather foregrounds these concerns, building a place from which to start, expand, and revise attitude(s). On a formal level, these poems address the hierarchies of languages, manoeuvring from vernacular to archaic English, from Bisaya to French to Dutch, and phonetic use of words. Economy is indeed a vast and intangible concept, perhaps one that only poetry can attempt, in futility, to exhaust.
