The Popular Vote

by Star Black

Book Overview

A shocked, funny, tender despondency ripples through Star Black's new collection as it cartwheels from the newspaper headlines after Donald Trump's 2016 victory to the intimacy of personal elegy. A spirited examination, The Popular Vote moves with casual spontaneity and verve, pressuring language into a performance of surprising, invigorating movements across syntax and line. From meditations on love, skyscapes, and cultural and personal loss, the poems in The Popular Vote reach out to the sleep-deprived majority of Americans who are governed by a president they didn't vote for. The result is a poetry collection full of vision and insight.
