As a starving writer, Katy Lederer had credit card debt and couldn’t hold on to her apartment. So she took a job at a hedge fund, but she kept writing poetry on the side, often about money and our complicated lust for it. Now a full-time poet, her recent collection is Heaven-Sent Leaf. Lederer tells what modern money-making and modern verse have in common.
