4.0 out of 5 stars Vivacious, winking, smart
I was feeling depressed about the state of American poetry, then started reading this book. Seaton's blend of humor, intensity, music, word-play and compelling narrative is a wake-up call to the hushed and mournful monotone-makers on the one hand, and to affectedly disengaged language-poetry offspring on the other.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book contained very wild poetry.
After hearing the author of Furious Cooking speak,my feelings on this book are very strong. The poems are very wild, follow no form or idea, and use obscene text and language for shock value. Some poems were good, but most were just dissapointing.
Published on December 5, 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK FOR THE AGES, June 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Furious Cooking (Iowa Poetry Prize) (Paperback)
I am astonished by the fearless talent this book has between its pages. The poems jump off the pages and grab my heart. I would recommend Ms. Seaton's books to anybody looking for the best poetry of this century.
