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.

Fellowship, 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.

Guggenheim Fellowship, and The Clark Prize for Excellence in Arts Writing



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
