Somebody Stand Up and Sing

Poetry. "An American original and even stronger than that, these last four decades, till these poems anchored by their extreme facts and debris-like assembling remind us of who this man Seidman has always been becoming, this maker made by his irreducible materials"--Joseph McElroy.
