A Crash of Rhinos
"'Forget safety. Tell me more about accident,' says Paisley Rekdal, and that might well be herars poetica. The poems inA Crash of Rhinosare smart, funny, and sexy—beat that for a trifecta. But Rekdal is not after mere sensation. She pursues the seeming randomness of life for the knowledge it has to offer: 'That night in question—its arson, its accident— / it was the first moment / I knew how to love you.'"--Andrew Hudgins
