The best American poet writing today* The title itself--a parody of a threat, something the monster under the bed might grunt--manages to capture the weird dialectic of Mr. Seidels black comedy: He is scary, but funny, but still scary . . . You would have go back to confessional masters like Lowell and Berryman to find poetry as daringly self-revealing, as risky and compelling, as the best of Frederick Seidels. --*Adam Kirsch, The New York SunThe poems in Ooga-Booga are Seidels] richest yet and read like no one elses: Theyre surreal without being especially difficult, and utterly unpretentious, suffused with the peculiar American loneliness of Raymond Chandler . . . The poem Barbados] is the loveliest Seidel has written to date, and hes perfected the subtle rhythms and rhymes that rocket the stanzas forward like his Ducati 916 SPS. While I can think of a more likable book of poems, I can scarcely imagine a better one. --Alex Halberstadt, New York magazine Ooga-Booga is] as beguiling and magisterial as anything Seidel] has written. I cant decide whether Seidel has more in common with Philip Larkin or John Ashbery, but the fact that he can prompt such a bizarre question is more revealing than any possible answer. --Joel Brouwer, The New York Times Book ReviewAbout the Author:Frederick Seidels previous books of poems include The Cosmos Trilogy; Final Solutions; Sunrise; These Days; and Poems, 1959-1979. He received the 2002 PEN/Voelker Award for Poetry.
