New Selected Poems

This collection provides readers with a perpetually exciting, compact edition of the revolutionary poet's most powerful work. Frederick Seidel has been hailed as 'the poet of a new contemporary form' (<i>New York Review of Books</i>), and 'the most frightening American poet ever' (<i>Boston Review</i>). His ambitious, disturbing and tender work has mystified and captured critics, poets and readers for decades. <i>Select Seidel</i> allows readers to appreciate the scope of Seidel's work over the past half-century and his uncanny ability to say the unsayable. Seidel is, in the words of the critic Adam Kirsch, 'the best American poet writing today'.
