'Something is going on. Something is wrong.' - 'Night'
Frederick Seidel -the 'ghoul' (Chicago Review), the 'triumphant outsider' (Contemporary Poetry Review) -returns with a dangerous new collection of poems. Nice Weather presents the sexual and political themes that have long preoccupied Seidel -and thrilled and offended his readers. Lyrical, grotesque, elegiac, this book adds new music and menace to his masterful body of work.
