Disappointing, 1 Jan 2003
By William Dodd - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Crash of Rhinos (Contemporary Poetry (Univ of Georgia Paperback)) (Paperback)
Rekdal's sentimentality in A Crash of Rhinos is almost as cloying as her sentimentality in The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee. I want to like the poems, because the author seems genuinely smart and insightful, but what music and power they have is drowned out by a pervasive self-consciousness.

Like tattoos .. ., 21 May 2001
By A. E. Stallings - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Crash of Rhinos (Contemporary Poetry (Univ of Georgia Paperback)) (Paperback)
these poems get under your skin. Quirky, witty, wise and moving, Rekdal's poems have both sweep and focus. In one poem, she deftly connects the planet Pluto with the underworld god with the Disney cartoon... while exploring the end of a relationship. These are poems informed with history and humor, poetry that's never ashamed to entertain. "Sex, like dinner," she reminds us, "has serious consequences."

Alive, 3 Dec 2000
By Cathy Carlisi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Crash of Rhinos (Contemporary Poetry (Univ of Georgia Paperback)) (Paperback)
This is a book of poems with a pulse. Page after page thumps with a rhythm and a language that is both corporal and spectral, sensual and sacred. The inspiration here is a breath of fire, and those with a passion for poetry will most certainly feel invigorated by it.
Listmania!
