‘On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron.’ - H.L. Mencken Baltimore Evening Sun 26 July 1920
The world was shocked by the election of President Donald J. Trump but was it really that surprising? In this timely collection of ‘investigative poems’ about American history, culture and politics, Heathcote Williams suggests — with characteristic wit and literary invention — that a nation which owes its very name to an early Italian pornographer, and which has been steeped for centuries in violence, artifice and greed, has reached its apotheosis in selecting such a leader.
