Crush: Twentieth-Anniversary Edition
The twentieth-anniversary edition of Crush, the passionate and influential poetry collection by Richard Siken
Richard Siken’s Crush, winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets prize in 2004, is driven by obsession and love—confessional, gay, savage, and charged with violent eroticism. Nobel Prize laureate and competition judge Louise Glück hailed the “cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power, [and] purgatorial recklessness” of Siken’s poems. “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.”
Since its publication, Crush has become a modern classic. It is one of the books most often read by young poets, and it is frequently taught and assigned. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes a new introduction by award-winning poet Dana Levin and a new afterword by the author.
