Record of Dissent: Poems of Protest in an Authoritarian Age

A literary protest against creeping authoritarianism in the United States under Donald Trump-and beyond-this anthology gathers voices of resistance from poets across the country. Record of Dissent includes 44 poems on protest, survival, memory, justice, and defiance, each one pushing back against silence in the face of collapse. From intimate reflections to sharp political critique, these poems speak to the urgency of this moment and the power of language to confront repression.

A project of The Chaos Section Poetry Project, this is a book for readers who refuse to look away.
