Record of Dissent is our first published collection—featuring 44 poems of protest, resistance, survival, and hope in response to the rising authoritarianism of the Trump era in America.
You can scroll down and read the entire book right here on this page. Each page is displayed in order, just like a physical book. If you prefer, you can also download a high-quality PDF using the button below.
