Racism, xenophobia, misogyny and their related malaises are to the U.S. what
whiskey is to an alcoholic. The current occupant of the White House won the
election yipping, against possible recovery, Drinks are on me! The rich,
multitudinous voices in this anthology variously call forhaving embarked onthe
hard work of sobriety, sanity.

Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, and the Bolligen Prize for American Poetry
we cant build a wall. we can only spout pure water again and again and drown
his lies.

Poets are summoned to a stronger imagination of language and humanity in a time
of new and radical Weathers. White House Inc. is the last gasp of the dying
Confederacy, but its spectacle is dangerous and addictive so hold onto your
mind. Fascism loves distraction. Keep the world safe for poetry. Open the book
of love and resistance. Don't tarry!
Anne Waldman, recipient of PEN Center Literary Award in Poetry, Guggenheim
Fellowship, and American Book Award, Lifetime Achievement Award
