WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new collection of poems recounting the two terms of President George W. Bush is on sale now.
The chapbook “The President of War: And Cowards, Villians, and Fools Behind Him” covers 9/11, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Hurricane Katrina and other domestic tragedies such as the bursting of the housing bubble that unfolded during the Bush administration.
Kate Millett, Author of Sexual Politics and Flying, had this to say about poet Elizabeth Gerteiny’s new works:
“The Bush administration has resulted in the dumbing down of America. The President of War can lift us up. Vive la liberté!”
W. Leon Smith, publisher of The Lone Star Iconoclast, called the poems “brilliant.”
“Everyone should read this book to glimpse, step by step, the past eight years and the attempts of the war president to destroy the traditional home-spun values that had for decades exemplifed the hopes and dreams of America,” he said.
Most of the verses in “The President of War” book have appeared on Gerteiny’s website, www.bushandcompany.org.
Gerteiny currently lives in Connecticut with her family, two dogs and three cats.
