Poetry and the arts have always served as a necessary part of society and societies' formation. Creating art brings humanity to an inhumane world. It is this art that J. Santino now brings in Capitalism Stole My Virginity, a collection of short, witty poems that both explores life in a globalized world and critiques the many problems that come with it.Drawing from his experience living and traveling around the world, as well as his southern upbringing in the United States of America, Santino writes compelling narratives perfect for contemporary readers who want a mix of humor and realism. He pulls inspiration from a sociological perspective, religious imagery, dreams, and various forms of visual art to craft these poems, and does so in a genuine, authentic way. Capitalism Stole My Virginity encapsulates everything contemporary poetry is and more, and will tug at the heartstrings of anyone reading.
