New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008. First edition. One of 500 copies printed, signed by Seidel on the half-title. 55 pp. Matte black perfect-bound wrappers, stamped in silver on the front cover. Very minor handling wear, near fine or better. Seidel's signature is very rare. As Jonathan Galassi wrote in the introduction to his interview with Seidel in The Paris Review, "Seidel's reserve has involved an absolute refusal to participate in the public life of poetry. He has never given a reading and, as this writer, who is also his publisher, can ruefully attest, he doesn't lift a finger to make himself known. Nevertheless, his work has slowly gathered a remarkably intelligent body of critical recognition along with a growing following among younger readers, and there is now a broad consensus that this reclusive, proud writer of willfully 'disagreeable' poems is one of the great living practitioners of his art." OCLC locates four copies.
