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 Gl ck 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 Gl ck 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.
