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,A‚ GlA?ÂLck hails the A?cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power, [and] purgatorial recklessnessA? of SikenA?s poems. She notes, A?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.A?
