After the election of Donald J. Trump in November 2016, a group of poets and activists conceived of a project wherein we could respond to the sudden and seemingly relentless barrage of Trump’s dystopian executive orders with a series of our own orders—at times serious, lampooning, absurdist, sincere, satirical, utopian, and so on. The project, titled “Executive Orders,” was envisioned as a collaborative, freeform prose poem that would unfold real-time responses to current events and the U.S. socio-political landscape.
