Possibly the best poet I've read after Patti Smith and Plath,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bad Seed (Paperback)
I confess I nearly stole this book when I worked at Bookshop. In the end, I didn't have the guts... and as fate would have it, six months after I stopped working..., I met the poet, and when I told him how I nearly stole his book, he gave me a copy. The Bad Seed is certainly the best collection published in the nineties that I've encountered. It is the most perfect symbiosis of beat, hippie, punk and new age writing that I've ever read, and it reminds me of Sylvia Plath and Patti Smith. It has a verve and energy that astounds me, and I love it for it's raw optimism: a vision that comes from having suffered. I could wax lyrical for ages. Read it and be shaken from your sensibilities. Rimbaud, like his namesake proves that poetry really can move you and awaken you. Poetry is not all crap!

Vogon poetry?,
By Michael J Edelman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bad Seed (Paperback)
This is perhaps the worst attempt at poetry I've ever seen comitted to paper. It's full of gross, artless metaphor and charmless descriptive phrases, like "That I have felt her velvet pudendum against my groin; and suffered, oh how I suffered! The ecstasy of abandonment, Peter's salt in my bowel, Satan's nightlight in my burned out eyes?"
And it gets worse. 1 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Beautiful Poetry,
By Susan Cook - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bad Seed (Paperback)
Dee Rimbaud is the Siddhartha of the Chemical Generation. Any of her poetry and her artwork are not to be missed. A newer book of her poetry, 'Dropping Ecstasy With The Angels', is a testament to those who have taken the narrow path through the highest mountains: to those who fell off; and to those who flew away with the angels. Released March 2004. 'Stealing Heaven From The Lips Of God' is Dee Rimbaud's first novel. It's a drug-fuelled, roller coaster ride through heaven and hell, a modern-day love story, and a fairy tale for people who don't believe in fairy tales. Publication date: September 2004. |
