This is the best kind of poetry: funny, disturbing, often ugly, always honest. Reading Seidel, one feels like the medium has relevancy in the modern age, which is saying a lot. For a true (and still living) American classic, look no further.

On October 1, 1910, the Los Angeles Times Building was bombed as part of an orchestrated attack on 100 American cities. The book is a narrative as well as an in-depth research of the escalating events, the attack, and the aftermath. It is a historical drama that is more relevant than ever as it parallels current events and illustrates another era's reaction.
