[New-Poetry] Best American poet: Seidel

[Bob Grumman]

  Who's the best contemporary American poet?  Well, according to Adam Kirsch, it just may be Frederick Seidel.

  I looked at all the anthologies on my shelf and did not find any of his work, with the exception of one piece in Jorie Graham's edition of *Best American Poetry*.  I have probably run across some poems in journals over the years, but frankly nothing that made me want to seek out more.  I've located a handful of piece online today, and I confess I've found nothing that tallies even remotely with Kirsch's claim.  


  Any Seidel fans out there?  


  What I wonder is what poets' work Kirsch knows anything about.  Maybe he says in his article.  I haven't had time to read it yet.
