His poetry is confessional, gay, savage, and charged with violent eroticism. Siken writes with ferocity, and his reader hurtles unstoppably with him. Richard Siken's Crush, selected as the 2004 winner of the Yale Younger Poets prize, is a powerful collection of poems driven by obsession and love. Siken writes about love, desire, violence, and eroticism with a cinematic brilliance and urgency that makes this one of the best books of contemporary poetry.-Victoria Chang, Huffington Post The 2004 winner of the Yale Younger Poets competition: a powerful, confessional, erotic collectionįinalist for the 2005 National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry ![]() ![]() Forced out of politics and prevented from speaking freely, Machiavelli had to use his skills of foxlike dissimulation to defend democracy in an era of tyrannical princes.
