In this expanded edition of a poetry classic, fans can rediscover a writer of rare conviction (thirty-four felony charges and counting), and for the first time ponder the full span of Trump’s artistic flowering and the paradoxes it poses. Like: How can one and the same person unite critics with beautiful poems, yet prove so divisive in his ‘other life’ as a political leader? And how can a man many consider desperately flawed produce works of such grace as ‘All I ask is fairness’, ‘My hands are normal hands’ and ‘Shithole countries’?
