Inauguration is a collection of ten poems written in reaction to the onset of a new political regime. Writing out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, one of the most divided cities in the country, Goodwin and Wilkinson trade ruminations of survival in a hostile political climate. Yet Inauguration transcends partisan rhetoric. It is a response to the noise and the silence, a rallying call to collectively find our way forward.

This book is available in a digital format via Haymarket Books, www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1082-inauguration. The book is also available in this beautiful hand-made letterpress-printed version, created by local artist and printmaker Han Sayles.

The second edition will feature new poetry from Idris and myself, and a new design from the artist, Han Sayles!
