Poem of the Week, Oct. 5-11
~ Frederick Seidel, Ooga Booga (2006 FSG)
I wish I were rich. Rodney Jones, Amie Whittemore and I were discussing how best to remain pure in this gladhandy, backsliding world of ours. First, I said, your name has to be Frederick Seidel. And second, you can’t ever, ever work in the environs of the contemporary literary scene. I believe this to be the case.
