Louis Proyect notes that St. Louis-born poet Frederick Seidel has an essay in Harper's this month. If you are familiar with Seidel's work, it will not shock you to hear that the piece is about motorcycles. If you are a subscriber to the magazine, you can jump the firewall to read online; otherwise, you're going to have to buy yourself a paper copy. I know Seidel's work, so I can tell you his essay is superlative without having seen it. But don't miss Proyect's mini-biography of Seidel; it's a lovely read, too. You can find it here. --Stefene Russell
