Neil Doherty - Poetry
Neil Doherty, a retired professor from the
Wharton School of Economics with many articles and technical books to his
credit, moved to Bainbridge Island a few years ago. When Donald Trump won
the presidential election in 2016, Doherty turned to poetry to help him work
through his disappointment. The outcome is his chapbook
A Treasury of Trump(2017). Many of the poems in the book are written in a nursery rhyme
style even though they address serious political and social issues. Says
Doherty: "You've got to make light of it. You can't cope rationally with
something this severe. If you don't laugh, you can't make it." For
