Nice Weather

A stunning new collection from the "beguiling and magisterial" poet (The New York Times Book Review)


"Something is going on. Something is wrong."

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.

Frederick Seidel

Frederick Seidel's many books of poems include The Cosmos Trilogy, Ooga-Booga, and Poems 1959-2009.
