From Library Journal:
This essential new annual goes its acknowledged predecessor one better, offering experimental writing that makes the now-defunct New Directions annual seem staid. Its mainstay is not individual writers but contemporary international movements; encasing chapbook-length compilations within forewords and afterwords, it sets unfamiliar texts in a welcome perspective. Regardless of nationality, these writers apply linguistic innovation in the service of political challenge. Fiction, interviews, criticism, and undefinable genres are seen within poetry's constructs. The American contemporaries represented here include Clark Coolidge, Susan Howe, and John Wieners, and obscure selections from writers who have influenced those on today's fringe (e.g., notes De Chirico scribbled in an exhibition catalog, transcripts of John Cage/Morton Feldman radio conversations) are especially valuable. This yearbook is listed as the "Michael Palmer issue" and is intended to be shelved under his name, but the reasons for this seem arbitrary and ill conceived. With an audio CD; recommended for public and academic libraries.

From Publishers Weekly:
Audacious, quirky and handsomely produced, this is the first yearbook of a new collection of contemporary and historical avant-garde poetry and prose; included is a CD (not made available to PW) on which John Ashbery, Jack Spicer and others read. Exact Change also reproduces work from Gertrude Stein, John Cage and Giorgio de Chirico, who comments obliquely on his paintings; reprints of work by Surrealists and early modernists are the mainstay of the Boston-based house. This vigorously heterogeneous anthology looks overseas, as well, to Germany, Russia, China and the Caribbean. Featured poet and translator Michael Palmer criticizes "the lyric poetry of the 'little me' that is churned out in America," the parochial work that both Palmer and The Exact Change Yearbook set themselves against. Like-minded readers will no doubt find this yearbook essential. Photos.
