    "If I didn't write a blurb for Megan Volpert's book, she would probably write a poem about that fact, which would be o.k. -- because her stuff is actually quite sharp and amusing. Richard Foreman Megan Volpert excavates the heart of non-fence with a surgeon's scalpel and a poet's umbrella on an operating table. Equal parts whimsy, collision, and erudition, this is an amazing pop linguistics addition to the literature of the de-sensive. Daphne Gottlieb Not since the Nature Theater of Oklahoma has such a cast of characters been recruited in the name of narrative theory and good clean fun. Starring icons of culture high and low, from Slavoj Zizek to Simon Cowell, from Akira Kurosawa to Will Ferrell, Volpert’s essay on nonsense is a Technicolor triumph. Jena Osman Just when you thought confessional poetry had collapsed in a dank crypt, driven there in white Volvos by secretly sybaritic academics (those brave souls dwelling on the abyss of their sensitivity) who have written some of the very best poems about the immense difficulties of doing simple things, like buying fresh asparagus and artichokes or taking out the trash on a moonlit night while the neighbor’s unmanageable dog is peering at you, along comes Megan Volpert, a rascal who managed to escape from a genie’s bottle and doesn’t want our sympathy. Her poetry is impolite, mocking, razor sharp, tough as a saint’s sandals, funny, unexpected, and refreshing. I admire the poet who put “acanthus glaucopareius” and a “thousand drooling debutantes” in the same line."  -- John Yau
