Publisher's Synopsis
Poets from the United States and beyond respond to the 2024 Presidential election. The poems are rooted in a belief that the incoming administration will not relieve or heal us from our nation's past: the destruction of the environment, the unbridled use of power, the pervasive narrative that Black lives do not matter, patriarchy, reproductive injustice for women, silent support for the US prison-industrial complex, and the lack of compassion for diverse gender identity, immigrants, the indigenous, and unsheltered populations. The editorial team worked tirelessly for six weeks to publish this anthology before the January 20, 2025 inauguration. Lead Editors: Katie Sarah Zale Paul E. Nelson Editorial Board: allia abdullah-matta CChristy White Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs Robert Lashley Roxi Power Theresa Whitehill
