{"product_id":"widening-income-inequality-h-b-z21","title":"Frederick Seidel: Widening Income Inequality [2016] hardback","description":"Seidel is the great controversialist of American poetry. Dubbed a  'transgressive adventurer,' a 'demonic gentleman,' a 'triumphant  outsider,' a 'great poet of innocence,' and 'an example of the dangerous  Male of the Species', his sly, witty and wide-eyed poems seem earnest  one moment and flippant the next, and will see him rotating his caustic  fire from high-society cocktail parties to street-level poverty,  genocide to Obamacare, New York to Syria. He's never more than a  turn-line from humour, and it is often when he is at his funniest that  he is also at his most shocking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Independent said of  his last collection: 'There is no contemporary poet writing in English  as witty, as shrewd, as touching and as debonair as Frederick Seidel.  That's a lot of praise, but he surely merits it.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidening Income Inequality,  Seidel's new collection, is a rhymed magnificence of sexual,  historical, and cultural exuberance. Rarely has poetry been this dapper,  or this dire, or this true.","brand":"Seidel, Frederick","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44314480705826,"sku":"9780571330706","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/seidel-frederick-widening-income-inequality-h-b-z21-9780571330706-40353807401250.jpg?v=1673817816","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/widening-income-inequality-h-b-z21","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
