Peaches Goes It Alone

"However maddening and offensive, Seidel’s later work has a dash and élan hard to dislike . . . With a sharp eye for the hypocrisies and dutiful silences of the day, his great virtue is to give voice to thoughts few would say aloud."—William Logan, The New Criteron

"For the past half-century, no American writer has had his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist quite like Frederick Seidel . . . Seidel’s first post-Trump book, Peaches Goes It Alone (increasingly, Election Day 2016 will be seen as a watershed in contemporary literature), is a breathtaking account of the current zeitgeist, and the pulse Seidel diagnoses is dangerously close to extinguishing itself . . . Peaches Goes It Alone might be the most accomplished collection of poems by Seidel, who must now, at this moment, be considered the greatest living American poet."—Thomas Moody, Medium

"Ever-divisive octogenarian Seidel (Widening Income Inequality) continues to move through the world with the ease of a man of privilege who has been blessed with an enthusiastic mind, all of which is brightly reflected in his latest collection."—Publishers Weekly
