Synopsis

Uprooted is a curated poetry anthology written in the aftermath of two killings. In January of 2026, poet Renée Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Later that same month, VA nurse Alex Pretti was killed by Border Patrol agents after stepping in to help a woman being assaulted on the street.

Edited by Rachel Armes-McLaughlin and Nick Allison and published by The Chaos Section Poetry Project and TCS Press, this collection gathers poets writing about immigration enforcement and overreach under the Trump administration: the raids, the detentions, the disappearances, and the resistance rising up to meet them. Some of these poets are immigrants. Some are citizens who've never had to think twice about a knock at the door. All of them are writing toward the same reckoning: what this country does in the name of law, who that law applies to, and what it costs the people living here.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

The Chaos Section Poetry Project is an independent poetry press and editorial project based in Austin, Texas. It grew out of The Chaos Section, a long-running opinion site founded in 2012, and was created as a way to expand that work into poetry, bringing the same attention to lived experience, civic life, and cultural pressure into a different form. Rather than publishing individual poems on a rolling basis, the project focuses on curated collections. Each collection is built around a central theme and shaped through editorial collaboration, with an emphasis on clarity, craft, and emotional honesty. Our first collection, Record of Dissent: Poems of Protest in an Authoritarian Age (TCS Press, 2025), gathered voices responding to political pressure, resistance, and the erosion of democratic norms. Our second, What We Hold On To: Poems of Coping, Connection, and Carrying On (TCS Press, 2026), turned inward, exploring how people endure, adapt, and remain connected in uncertain times. Our third, Uprooted: Poems of Resistance, Witness, and Survival (TCS Press, 2026), gathers poets writing about immigration enforcement overreach and the people it harms. All collections are released free to read on the site (thechaossectionpoetryproject.com), with free high-quality digital downloads available. Print editions are offered for readers who want a physical copy. We welcome a wide range of poetic approaches: free verse, formal, experimental, personal, political... what matters most is care for language, attention to form, and, most importantly, a willingness to engage honestly with the world as it is.
