Trumped Up Election Jennifer Lagier

Trumped Up Election documents the dystopian world of compromised US politics, devaluation of civility, and destruction of cultural norms during the 2016 presidential election. Bearing witness to the rise of misogyny, racism, corruption, and homophobia, this collection of poetry explores the progressive dismantling of the democratic process, abandonment of ethical behavior, and a country in accelerating free fall toward fascism.
