From the winner of the PEN/Voelker Award, poems of love, terror, rage, and desire. The poems in Ooga-Booga are about a youthful slave owner and his aging slave, and both are the same man. This is the tenderest, most savage collection yet from “the most frightening American poet ever” (Calvin Bedient, Boston Review).
Going Fast: Poems
Frederick Seidel
In his sixth collection of poems, Frederick Seidel continues to create the inventive, often brutal verse that has brought his work passionate acclaim. Seidel’s elegantly assured work juxtaposes political and aesthetic realities of the postmodern world in constantly disruptive and uncompromising images that are eerie, disturbing, and remarkably beautiful.
The poems in Going Fast are set in New York, London, Paris, Milan, Bologna, and Tahiti.
