Trade Review"This is a superbly smart and invigorating book that triumphantly demonstrates Charles Bernstein's goals and values. Those who want satire, those who want earnest discussion, those who want information, those who want to get a sense of personality, those who want theory, those who want entertainment, even those who wish to be confirmed in their beliefs and those who wish to nurse their resentments, will all find something here." -Daisy Fried "Charles Bernstein writes both prose and poetry about poetry, sometimes brilliantly, in ways calculated to upset the middle-brow and thwart the bland. The more you like the poetic equivalent of a nice tune, easy to hum, the more Bernstein means to disrupt your complacency." -Robert Pinsky"
