| Title: | Fashionable Noise: On Digital Poetics | ||
| Publisher: | Atelos | ||
| Pub. Date: | 2003 | ||
| Description: | This and more: What do Hugh MacDiarmid, Donkey Kong, and algorithims of pornolize.com have to do with each other? Was Wordsworth all wrong, and is the democratization of language to be found in the work of a whiz kid's Commodore 64? Is it healthy to read the letters of a supermarket receipt for its lyrical soul? What is a "digital poetics" and where can I get one? Does it hurt? Can I still write "normal" poems afterwards? -Atelos | ||

| Title: | Free Space Comix | ||
| Publisher: | Roof Books | ||
| Pub. Date: | Spring 1998 | ||
| Description: | Stefans's work is smart, wise-cracking, sweet, energetic, brand new, and thoroughly brilliant. Pay attention! -Stacy Doris. "Total=loco." Read on! An insouciant taffypull of generational originality, this lingo fracas moves outside that "Hello! broken" personality of "Aging American Poetry." Reason-bewitching contraptions sparkle, a "mercurial hit parade" of images ransomed at the heartthrob butchershop. A voracious eroticism of style, in both "descalped truth's" neon prose and dizzying syntactic eloquence. -Bruce Andrews | ||

| Title: | Kluge: A Meditation, and Other Works | ||
| Publisher: | Roof Books | ||
| Pub. Date: | 2007 | ||
| Description: | Most immediately arresting is the title piece, set in three sections of 12 blocks of justified text. As the reader proceeds from block to block, an aching first-person addressrepeats almost verbatim, but with subtle-and sometimes not so subtle, and often very funny-homophonic or semantic substitutions, which then alter the unfolding story's course precipitously. Stefans works almost feverishly to fulfill Pound's dictum to make it new, and sees clearly that satire, even of poetic forms themselves, is the preserver much more than the destroyer-a list of the dotted lines you've not yet signed. -Publishers Weekly | ||
