In Seidel's work, a passionate, uncompromising sensibility confronts the intractable reality of a turbulent world, a world of seductive glamour, harsh splendor, and cruelty. The strong rhetoric of the poems juxtaposes intense lyricism with a remorseless, cold-eyed skepticism. The results are consistently challenging, disturbing, and fiercely beautiful. Robert Lowell once wrote about this remarkable poet: \"When I read him, I have envious, delighted, jolted feelings, and suspect the possibilities of modern poetry have been changed. Here is power that strikes\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeidel, Frederick:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eFrederick Seidel\u003c\/b\u003e's books of poems include \u003ci\u003eFinal Solutions\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSunrise\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Lamont Prize and the 1980 National Book Critics Circle Award; \u003ci\u003eThese Days\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMy Tokyo\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGoing Fast\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Cosmos Poems\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eLife on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOoga-Booga\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003ePoems 1959-2009\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50460158198034,"sku":"9780374538507","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5215d89f-3d66-4011-9b95-6fbe6ae701a0.jpg?v=1730031258","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/my-tokyo-poems-9780374538507","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
