Trimp Tromp Trump: Poems from the First 100 Days

Written during the first 100 days of the Trump presidency, Trimp Tromp Trump is lament for American politics, a polemic against idiocy, and a wry look at the actions of an administration at war with itself. In the style of Frank O'Hara’s Lunch Poems, the poems react to the events of a given day of Donald Trump’s first one hundred days in office. Trimp Tromp Trump investigates orange interregnum through the eyes of administration figures, ordinary Americans, and the President’s own lonely struggle with a job he does not understand. Using various forms and free verse, Voilleque charts the course of a seemingly random walk through the foundational period of an American presidency. J-P Voilleque is a graduate of the New College of California’s Poetics MFA program.
