"Mike Topp's irreducible art consists partly of recycling expandable parts of speech and revealing their unused genius. Other parts are fixed, like the sly orthography. Topp is the Andy Warhol and Ralph Nader of literature." --Andrei Codrescu

"Just when I think Mike Topp's poems are funny, they're wise. Just when I think they're wise, they're bad. Just when I think they're bad, they're great. Mike Topp's book is exactly like the world." --Eileen Myles

"Constantly mistaken for an Italian underwear model, or a beerhall humorist, Mike Topp is, in fact, one of the most gifted Surrealzing writers, and a Taoist immortal." --Sparrow
