As the title implies, this single long poem has been constructed entirely from quotes of other writers. This is a quick-paced, witty and engaging work, that manages to address the way human beings treat each other in the light of contemporary and past events.

One of the great pleasures gained by reading John Bloomberg-Rissman's poetry is the awareness that every poem, both singly and when placed together as a body of work, demonstrates a belief in the possibilities language might have to truthfully and energetically communicate experience, thought and feeling.
