Financial Poetry – Heaven-Sent Leaf – by Katy Lederer

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

It appears that Bankruptcy Bill’s haiku is not the only source of poetry drawing inspiration from the state of the economy.

NPR’s Studio 360 has a story this weekend about Katy Lederer, a poet who spent several years working for a hedge fund and now has a book of poetry titled Heaven-Sent Leaf on the topic of modern money-making.  You can learn more about her by following her blog at http://heavensentleaf.blogspot.com/.
