Trumped vol. 1

Poets Speak is a series of anthologies that are published via print in five separate volumes or mini-anthologies (each less than a hundred pages), in response to the national and planetary crisis provoked by the election of 11/8/2016.

Muste Memorial pamphlet series, and Samizdat dissident publications from behind the Iron Curtain.
