“Creating ebullient forms to meet his needs, and stirring the pot with neologism and slogan, Joans’s exultations and exhortions wonderfully prefigure performance-oriented work.”
—Publishers Weekly
“[Joans] is the last hipster, the last bohemian, someone who astonishes the young by magnificently asserting a way of life it never occurred to them exited.”
—Jack Foley
“T.J.’s poetry . . . brightens and enlightens the curious world he ceaselessly observes. . . . The poems read as if Ted were speaking directly to us, Live, and his global audience . . . walking and talking, looking and squawking, laughing and rapping. Ted is still the world’s most Bohemian Beat ‘Outside’ Brother.”
—Amiri Baraka
