This collection provides readers with a perpetually exciting, compact edition of the revolutionary poet’s most powerful work. Seidel has been hailed as “the poet of a new contemporary form” (The New York Review of Books), and “the most frightening American poet ever” (Boston Review).

His ambitious, disturbing, and tender work has mystified and captured critics, poets, and readers for decades. Frederick Seidel’s Selected Poems 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.”
