What I like most about Rachel Kann’s work

is that she’s one of a few people who seem to have taken what’s become known as the “slam Voice” and gone elsewhere with it than it usually ends up.

Of course, it’s not the only thing she does; but it’s the most remarkable thing. And it may be a harbinger of what really good poets may be able to do even within the bounds of the genre we’ve created.
