Desolate Country: We the Poets United Against Trump

Now more than ever our collective voices (and actions) must stand united in opposition to Donald J. Trump who--by following the demagogues playbook--seeks to divide and conquer by turning Christians against Muslims white folks against people of color men against women and straights against LGBTQIAs thereby creating fear and hate amongst the populace.While We the People quarrel and vilify each other Trump without opposition slyly invokes his true agenda: the marginalization of the masses and the continued facilitation of the advancement and concentration of wealth of the most affluent members of our society which is evidenced by his billionaire cabinet nominees and bizarre infatuation with Russian President (and evil dictator) Vladimir Putin.Desolate Country therefore represents an amalgamation of defiant work by established artists and those who as a result of Trumps election were inspired to write in protest. It aims to give voice to believers in the power of art as both a spiritual catharsis and a manifestor of change and to those who are morally opposed to saying Trump is my President.
