Description

Crush is a powerful and confessional collection of poems driven by obsession and love. With ferocity, Richard Siken explores themes of desire and violence, creating a sense of urgency and intensity that propels the reader forward.

Selected as the winner of the 2004 Yale Younger Poets prize, this book is notable for its unflinching and often savage portrayal of gay experience. The poems are both deeply personal and universally relatable, making this a significant contribution to American poetry.

Published in 2019, this reprint edition of Crush showcases the enduring power and relevance of Siken's work. With its cumulative, driving, and apocalyptic power, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in contemporary poetry.
