Fear of Subways
"Tough, honest, vulnerable. The writing is flamboyant, swaying cheekily between grief and celebration."--Poetry Flash "Seaton tirelessly investigates her role as a white woman in black people's lives, particularly in the life of one black woman, whom she loves. By doing so, she adds to the necessary cargo of politics in poetry."--The Nation
Undersea
UNDERSEA is Seaton's free-wheeling series of love notes to her transplanted sea-struck self and her salty sidekick--poems that celebrate her signature wit and joy in that wild state of mind called Florida. Author Caridad Moro-Gronlier writes of UNDERSEA: Told with her singular wit and wisdom honed by salt and sun and brine, the poems are besotted with Florida-its superhero pelicans, the rum-macerated retirees baking in the sun, the soundtrack of air-conditioning, and a lover's night terrors playing in an oceanside efficiency. The speaker in these poems is love-laden but clear-eyed, sure that "there is no line between water and sky," the perfect "stark raving" guide for the reader eager to "?...
The Sky Is an Elephant
THE SKY IS AN ELEPHANT is part imaginary playmate, part near-death high jinks, and part love song from the body to the soul and back again. THE SKY IS AN ELEPHANT is part imaginary playmate, part near-death high jinks, and part love song from the body to the soul and back again. "Where I once spoke flute, I now speak arpeggio, now fugue, now biopsy." It's a shaggy dog story, a story within a story, maybe even a koan. A little humor, a little Zagajewski. Finally, it's in homage to poets Jack Spicer and Federico García Lorca, who played with the greathearted gift of poetry until the day they died. And after. "Maureen Seaton's THE SKY IS AN ELEPHANT is a masterful parting song of wit, bravery,...
Fisher
Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. "Tender, elegiac, searing--Maureen Seaton's new collection is all of these and more. With virtuosic skill and precision, she casts line after quicksilver line to create a moving, prismatic portrait of a suicide. Along the way, we get dazzling meditations on rivers, fly fishing, wilderness, sex, violence, and death. Yet despite the dark subject matter, FISHER, to quote one of its poems, is a book 'whose pages are aflame with life.'"--Ellen Bass "'In every myth, there is a secret,' Maureen Seaton writes, leaning close to our ear, almost whispering, almost our co-conspirator in a plot to re-imagine the world. Here is FISHER, the kind of book that doesn'...
Furious Cooking
By turns chic, romantic, sardonic, droll, seductive, and in your face, Maureen Seaton is a cornucopia of attitudes and styles, a street-smart, deeply talented woman who wryly contemplates the charades that the self and the world assume - and how hard it is to stay in focus the morning after. It gets very, very hot in Seaton's kitchen and in her poems. As this inventive and imaginative poet states, "Furious Cooking is a stew of accidents and incidents roiling across universes". Seaton creates curious and energetic juxtapositions; she revisits violence and assesses its damages. The poet/woman in the thick of this caldron instigates polarities and assumes the roles of inquisitor and heretic, perpetrator and child, painter and artifact, scientist and specimen. She careens circularly through the hypocrisies and atrocities of church and partner, established sanctioned realities, the seeming senseless death of loved ones in this life and long ago.
Sex Talks to Girls
Maureen Seaton traces the emergence of her identity in quick, droll, often surprising sketches. She finds herself alternately in the company of winos, swingers, and drag kings; in love with Jesus H. Christ and a butch named Mars; in charge of two children (her own!); writing stories that shrink painfully to poems; and unable to reckon how she landed in any of these predicaments. In her passage from near-nun to suburban mom to woke woman, she shakes herself out of a sloshed stupor and delights in the spree.
Sweet World
"Sweet World reveals a 21st-century life in the midst of an epidemic. It's not about hating, battling, or even ultimately surviving the ravages of the epidemic as much as it is an homage to a life that continues even as the illness exists within the fabirc of the body--the body, which is not victim, but vehicle for love, light, and growth. It is about a ceasefire with the disease while the soul steps up and takes the lead. Simply put, it's about the challenges and ultimate joys of one woman's life as she recreates herself in a time of breast cancer"--Inside front flap.
Little Ice Age
To enrich readers' experience, the Contemporary Classics Poetry series prints the best of today's works in beautiful casebound editions. The four poets that start the series are emerging stars who brilliantly point the way in language and imagery for generations to come.
Genetics
Maureen Seaton's poetry is outrageous, insightful, and humorous in only the way she can deliver: furious and feisty!
Stealth
Poetry. LGBT Studies. "STEALTH, this reeling motet, feels like a Tarkovsky film, all of them strung together, about the end of the world, these poems continuously spilling themselves into other spaces ad infinitum. And giving us a tiny window on that. It feels like a shell-game. Friendship and language. STEALTH is excited and joyous, while dying, dragging one's tired ass through a desert, hallucinating. It feels like The Waste Land but the footnotes are fun. STEALTH is more boy than girl. I don't think Philip Marlowe, I think of Philip Whalen with a pilot's silk scarf tied around his neck. Man or a girl's doll. These multiples never get solved, only raised here. I think I mean that stealth is simply the past tense of steal or living finally with everything you stole—living well in a paradise of your own"—Eileen Myles.
