This new selection of the poetry of Frederick Seidel celebrates the career of an American original, and introduces one of the most remarkable contemporary poets to English readers. Seidel writes about the present state of things, both public and private, with inspired malice, brio, and disabused omniscience, and his work has matured over the course of a dozen books into an encyclopaedia of modern atmospheres. As Richard Poirier has noted, 'his words come at us as if spontaneously provoked into being by the volatile realities he is discovering. His poems celebrate themselves, and their author, in a manner that makes him the true heir of Walt Whitman. It is as if the poems emerge from what can be recognised as our future.'
