Ranging across voices and registers, from mock-Elizabethan soliloquies to blank verse diatribes, the collection stages an ongoing reckoning with race, power, complicity, and historical violence, particularly as refracted through the figure of Donald Trump. McCrae's characteristic use of disrupted syntax and looping repetitions builds a dissonant, incantatory music that unsettles while refusing abstraction. What results is a taut, unrelenting document of moral and national disarray, rendered with furious clarity and formal mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shane McCrae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1917617364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781917617369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broken Sleep Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Shane McCrae","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47453020029183,"sku":"9781917617369","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6787c86-a1ae-4c62-9a38-6d2d514bfbf3.jpg?v=1761931488","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/songs-and-sonnets-shane-mccrae-9781917617369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
