Trump,Trump, Trump: The March of Folly

Burlington

Tuesday, May 07 at 7:00 pm

Join Onion River Press and Phoenix Books Burlington for the launch of Susan Ohanian's new book, Trump, Trump, Trump: The March of Folly, a clever and meticulously thought-out poetic rebuttal to the absurdity of the current president.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Susan Ohanian, a longtime teacher and writer, is the author of...
