The book opens in the company of Nick and his girlfriend Inga as they travel up the Tapajós River to the failed capitalist venture of Fordlandia. Failure and the blighted realities of both entitled and marginalized lives suffuse various sections of the book. Poems concerned with political and eco dynamics not only dominate section 5 but inform the book as a whole. \u003ci\u003eIF YOU TOLERATE THIS\u003c\/i\u003e ends with a group of ghazals that Golden wrote having back-packed through Iran in 2019. This is a book with a large cast of characters, both familiar and new, who are as riven and corruptive as the age we live in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Golden's last book of poems \u003ci\u003eGOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Golden is a poet to get excited about...
