📱 eBook en inglés WIDENING INCOME INEQUALITY

Seidel is the great controversialist of American poetry. Dubbed a transgressive adventurer, a demonic gentleman, a triumphant outsider, a great poet of innocence, and an example of the dangerous Male of the Species, his sly, witty and wide-eyed poems seem earnest one moment and flippant the next, and will see him rotating his caustic fire from high-society cocktail parties to street-level poverty, genocide to Obamacare, New York to Syria. Hes never more than a turn-line from humour, and it is often when he is at his funniest that he is also at his most shocking.

The Independent said of his last collection: There is no contemporary poet writing in English as witty, as shrewd, as touching and as debonair as Frederick Seidel. Thats a lot of praise, but he surely merits it.

Widening Income Inequality, Seidels new collection, is a rhymed magnificence of sexual, historical, and cultural exuberance. Rarely has poetry been this dapper, or this dire, or this true.
