Reviews for Word Play Place
“Taken together, the twelve essays in Word Play Place, prefaced by Archambeau’s excellent and informative introduction, make an important statement about Matthias’s place on the current poetry scene-and indeed, on the scene itself as it is playing out in Anglo-America. An extremely valuable book!”
