Author Description

"The French Surrealists invented a game called "Exquisite Corpse" to write collaborative poems, and thus the title of Denise Duhamel and Maureen Seaton's new book of poetry, Exquisite Politics, hints at its collaborative nature, Seaton and Duhamel, both nationally recognized poets; have composed poems together for a number of years, and the result is an inspired and daring body of work. In poems that speak at times in a breezy, conversational style and at other moments with taut lyric intensity, these gifted writers probe the mysteries of relationships, personal histories, and issues of sexual and political identity."--BOOK JACKET.
