Critical reception

Jacqueline Baas commented on "the richness of information and interpretation contained in so much of Words to Be Looked At". Baas writes, "The book is organized into three sections, each focusing on a different disciplinary aspect of the relationship between language and art. The first two chapters deal with works related to music, the next two with poetry, and the last two with visual art."[2]

Reviewing The New Fuck You, Ellen Krout-Hasegowa wrote it is "a collection of fiction and poetry by nearly 40 writers, and it thrills with all the excitement of a sticky-floored camy ride."[3]
