Review
Mark Worthing's modern take on a traditional Abecedarius leaves the reader dazzled and delighted. Its glancing wit and verbal pyrotechnics, as he captures the characteristics of each letter, can be often only be properly appreciated with the aid of the explanatory notes, in themselves a display of a fertile mind and an extraordinary breadth of knowledge. The enchantment of the book is enhanced by Morton Benning's twenty-six complex and arresting illustrations. - Valerie Volk, poet and novelist
Knowledge and poetry are strange bedfellows - how many learnèd men and women, since the Metaphysicals, have failed to convincingly integrate their erudition. But this book succeeds admirably and in it Worthing has found an ideal form for his unique brand of eclecticism. If these linguistically-inventive yet accessible poems owe a debt to Christian Bök then the debt is repaid. Like their author, they are digressive and chatty; great to have a coffee with ̶ or a long lunch. ̶ Aidan Coleman, poet and Shakespeare scholar
