This Poet Wrote 200 Sonnets About Donald Trump. Now He’s Reading Them In Maine.

Traveling fiddler and poet Ken Waldman started writing sonnets about Donald Trump the day after he won the presidential election in 2016. By inauguration day, Waldman had over 50 sonnets about the new Commander in Chief. As of Thursday, he’s up to 220 poems, published in three volumes — and he’s woring on a fourth. Waldman will read a slew of his compositions in between playing Appalachian-style fiddles tunes at the PortFringe theater festival in Portland this week in a show he’s calling “Trump Sonnets or: How I’ve Taken on Donald Trump (and Won).” Troy R.
