What other people say about us
"Well-done and informative"
-- The Dallas Morning News, February 12, 1995
"There was poetry in Dallas before the Word was launched... but
finding out when and where it was happening was a lot harder... You can't
go wrong with its list of poetry events and its well-written essays and
interviews."
-- The Dallas Morning News, November 10, 1995
"If you have any doubt that Dallas has a spoken-word (scene) it can be
proud of, just attend the Birthday Benefit Bash for the Word"
-- The Dallas Observer, November 16-22, 1995
"the bible of the Dallas poetry scene... treasured for its comprehensive
listings and careful editing"
-- The Dallas Morning News, November 17, 1995
"The Poetry Flash of Dallas!"
-- Joe Ahearn, Rancho Loco Press, via email, early 2000
