Reeling from the US election while in New York City, I reflect on the poems, books and poetic communities that suddenly became essential this week:
- Jaap Blonk’s What the president will say and do
- Jena Osman’s Dropping Leaflets
- My post-election call to the ModPo hotline (tissues at the ready!) at the Kelly Writers House
- Lou Carter’s tip on David Orr’s book Beautiful and Pointless
- Citizen by Claudia Rankine
- Shut Up, Shut Down by Mark Nowak
- The Dodge Poetry Festival
- Auden’s In Memory of W. B. Yeats
- Evil by Langston Hughes
- Keeping Quiet by Pablo Neruda
