Inaugural Poetry

1/26/2017

 
Poems from my "footnote" post two days ago have gone into a new chapbook at Lulu. It revises my previous chapbook featuring the poem I wrote for President Obama's 2009 inaugural—an expanded text (in spite of which I have cut the price back a dollar). Except for the Obama inaugural poem itself, all of the poems have been up on this website. You might want to include some other books in your order to make shipping costs less outrageous.

America Undutiful

1/25/2017

 

​Unbeautiful capacious lies
For somber ways of gain,
For corporate mounting travesties
Against the truth so plain,
America, America,
God shed his tears for thee
And crown thy pride with suicide
​From sea to plastic sea.

Post-Drop Footnote

I have added new poems to my miscellany, politically themed, both for incoming and outgoing.

    News?

    A new poem is always news to the poet.
    ​Or whatever.
