'... is the outstanding volume in this series, with an eclectic and inventive collection of texts that challenge the very definitions of the genre. I gained enormous pleasure simply from browsing through this book. Eminem and Paul McCartney are considered alongside Blake and Shakespeare with a generous allocation of colour prints for visual stimulation ... a potent poetry resource.' TES, 2001
