"The highest praise I can think of is that Winter in America (Again is a much-needed update of Carolyn Forche's classic anthology, Against Forgetting: Twentieth Century Poetry of Witness. As the title indicates, this collection assembles some of the best poets in America to respond to the election of a man who proclaimed that he would be a dictator on the first day. Clearly, along with I Am Your Retribution, his goal is to turn America white and inhospitable to anyone not to his liking. If only he had spent time acquiring knowledge to back up all the outrageous policies he proposes. A few weeks into this administration and we are way past "the heading towards a constitutional crisis," or "on the verge of autocracy." The saddest thing about this political nightmare is that we did it to ourselves; we committed mass political national suicide. . . . That said, it would be safe to say, the approximately 110 poets and photographers who contributed to this anthology for the ages, would agree. There so many outstanding pieces it seems unfair to pick out any that were better than others as they all have something pertinent to say." - Misfit Magazine Poets from the United States and beyond respond to the 2024 Presidential election. The poems are rooted in a belief that the incoming administration will not relieve or heal us from our nation's past: the destruction of the environment, the unbridled use of power, the pervasive narrative that Black lives do not matter, patriarchy, reproductive injustice for women, silent support for the US prison-industrial complex, and the lack of compassion for diverse gender identity, immigrants, the indigenous, and unsheltered populations. The editorial team worked tirelessly for six weeks to publish this anthology before the January 20, 2025 inauguration. Lead Editors: Katie Sarah Zale Paul E.
