Verses Versus Empire

A Poet’s Chronicle of Tyranny

Welcome to the U.S. empire, a rapacious corporation headed by a new CEO every four or eight years. There's nothing noble about it and certainly nothing poetic, yet Abdiel LeRoy shines a light both poetic and prophetic upon it through several volumes of political verse.
The series began in 2000 with the fraudulent installation of George W. Bush, followed by the false-flag atrocity of 9/11. Now, with the close of the Biden era and the return of Trump, LeRoy has brought forth another collection that encapsulates the horrors of four sordid years of misrule and corruption.
But LeRoy's poetry serves as antidote to the bitter medicine of American politics and globalist conspiracy. Eloquent, witty, and deeply researched, his collections are a document of record to future ages trying to make sense of these wicked times.

Herein speaks a prophetic and poetic voice for our age.
"A brave new presence in the politics of the globe."
San Francisco Review of Books
“If you wanted to extend the critical view of American political history into the present beyond Gore Vidal’s ‘Biography of the United States of America,’ these books would be the ticket… A joy to read and an invitation to keep your eyes open as to what is really going on.”
Rogier F. van Vlissingen
“So well done. A remarkable command of the language and great sensitivity. And doing all this in an entirely new way, wading into (almost) unexplored literary territory.”
Claude Forthomme
“Abdiel LeRoy’s poetry and prose offer intellectual nourishment for critical thinkers and seekers of truth… I highly recommend this book and its companion editions to anyone who seeks to escape from the ‘Matrix’.”
