THE POET OF THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY

http://www.wallstreetpoet.com/ is the site for Michael Silverstein, a satirical poet whose particular targetr is the financial community.  I generally do nmot like political satire in poetry because I find it ham handed aqnd dull.  Silverstein's work is subtle.  It is hard for me to articulate why his poetry works but it does. A good place to visit in order to see succesful examples of a difficult content for poetry.
