Finalist for the 2005 National Book Critics Circle Award in
Poetry-an erotic, powerful collection "One of the best books of
contemporary poetry."-Victoria Chang, Huffington Post "Vital,
immediate, and cinematic in scope."-Library Journal (Best Poetry of
2005) Selected by Nobel Prize laureate and competition judge Louise
Gluck as the 2004 winner of the Yale Younger Poets prize, Richard
Siken's Crush is a powerful collection of poems driven by obsession
and love. Siken writes with ferocity, and his reader hurtles
unstoppably with him. His poetry is confessional, gay, savage, and
charged with violent eroticism. In the world of American poetry,
Siken's voice is striking. In her introduction to the book, Gluck
hails the "cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power, [and]
purgatorial recklessness" of Siken's poems. She notes, "Books of
this kind dream big. . . . They restore to poetry that sense of
crucial moment and crucial utterance which may indeed be the great
genius of the form."
