Dumpty: The Age of Trump in Verse

Award-winning actor and bestselling author John Lithgow has written and illustrated the first poetic, comic history of the last few chaotic years of Trump's reign in the States.
John Lithgow wields a whip-smart, satirical pen in this hilarious book of poems chronicling the last few raucous years in American politics. The verses are hugely clever, and absolutely lacerating towards Trump. They are a wonderful, different look at Trump and his presidency. Written as the events unfolded, the poems lampoon key political players such as Betsy DeVos, William Barr, Rudy Giuliani, Kim Jong-un and dozens more.Illustrated from cover to cover with Lithgow's never-before-seen line drawings, the poems collected in Dumpty draw inspiration from the likes of A. A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, and even Mother Goose. A feat of laugh-out-loud lyrical storytelling, this timely volume is bound to bring joy to poetry lovers, political junkies, and Lithgow fans alike.John Lithgow is an award-winning actor with two Tonys, six Emmys, and two Golden Globes to his name.
