No surprise to us: The Rumpus raves about Brad Ricca’s “entertaining, bold, and wholly original” poetry collection, writing “Few poets choose to share poignant emotions with a cheeky smile and a sly wink. It is rare indeed when a poet manages to successfully blend comedy with genuine emotional insight, but that is exactly what Brad Ricca has accomplished with his first collection, American Mastodon.” To wit: there’s a poem in here titled “Bartleby and Emily Dickinson’s First Date.” What more do you need to know?
