This is a short poetry book, about 50 pages. The poems range in length, but most are pretty short,  and they are free-verse for the most part. Not all are explicitly political, but knowing the context that most of these were written in response to Trump's presidency certainly helps them make more sense.

I love the title and the cover. They fit so very very well.

Some poems didn't made a whole lot of sense, or were pretty so-so, but most were pretty good. Some even great. I found some parts, especially the poem titles really funny. I really enjoyed it as a whole.

Very middle-of-the-road poetry. Some solid poems, some kinda cruddy, most just so-so.

An excellent and thought provoking collection however incredibly dense and often confusing in it's multitudes.

This is a really interesting, timely collection of poetry. I would definitely recommend to people who like political themed poetry.

I really enjoyed this title and in fact immediately bought some of the poet’s earlier work. Anstett’s poems are biting without being polemical and straightforward while remaining inventive with language. This is pissed-off poetry, which is really the only reasonable response we have to the current political climate. I hope many, many people read this book.
