Word Toys is an engaging and delightfully quirky overview of the
philosophy and aesthetics of technicity in digital,
constraint-based, and speculative poetry and its many cousins,
aunts, fellow travelers, and, crucially, outliers."" - Charles
Bernstein, author of Recalculating and Pitch of Poetry
""Stefans’s work distinguishes itself from any run-of-the-mill
scholarly study in being the product of an expansive,
ultra-contemporary, kaleidoscopic intelligence, and a spontaneous,
razor-sharp wit."" - Jennifer Scappettone, author of Killing the
Moonlight: Modernism in Venice
