The Whisper by Emma Clayton
Poetry. Like the first collection, Waldman opens with a preview poem, and then he starts in with a list, one titled Trump, By the Book with the opening lines: Challenges what a common thesauruscan do: lamebrained, schizo, preposterous,
bugged out, imbecilic, dense, ludicrous,
one and only trumpus dinosaurus, Waldman follows that with a dream poem in the president's voice. This format continues throughout the two main sections of the book: after each commentary there's an italicized dream poem in Donald Trump's voice. Toward the end, there's Donald Trump, Dream #32 which begins: A big stage, me with Batman, Superman,
Popeye, and a trim Miss America.
That was Candy from South Carolina.
Batman called me a real American,
said I was more potent than Superman.
Candy called me Mr. America,
said I should move to South Carolina. TRUMP SONETS, VOLUME 2 is sad, disquieting, angry, smart, hopeful, and often very, very funny. It's an apt follow-up to TRUMP SONETS, VOLUME 1.
Emma Clayton lives with her two children in Leamington Spa, England. THE WHISPER is the sequel to her debut novel THE ROAR.
