Hollow,
shallow
policies.

An ugly strawman
in disguise.

No sincerity
or honesty in
your cagey eyes.

Rallies
of hate

All hail the
liar in attack mode
spinning lies
for his blind
rabid base.

Haunted
by echoes
of a fascist past
out of a dictator’s sad playbook

My frank case against the #Trump presidency in 10 parts...#TheTrumpYears is a #poetic howl about living under the daily nightmare of the first #Trump administration
It’s very relevant for the horror we are living through today...

"The #poems of Guerrero show a universe where the intellectual exercise of reading other #poets generates a flow of images that, at the same time, brings into question the purpose of having done those readings to be able to create the poem."

— Gloria Susana Esquivel

poetry and prose can be an #elixir,
providing needed respite for both
reader and writer

are writers magicians?

they can be, sometimes
