*“Rejoice, ReJoyce greatly, that this shining treasury of multiple possibilities, of new open forms beyond formalities, is suddenly to hand.” * **from the Introduction by Michael Horovitz **“Original, playful and very inventive, *The Language Game is timeless.” * **Elaine Feeney **“The Language Game is a breath-taking and mind-bending journey into the wizardry, music and mad science of language. A bubbling cauldron of brilliant ideas and experimental form playfully executed to perfection—each poem shimmers with its rejoice in the spell craft of poetry. No-one else is writing like this in Ireland.”**Stephen Murray **“Timothy Emlyn Jones’s The Language Game is, particularly in the Irish context, an exceptional work of poetry. He is a poet profoundly influenced by a particular version of experimental poetics… But he also has a fundamental grasp of poetic form, which he uses in a most playful way. In common with other experimental poets on these islands, Jones knows that language is a means of ideology, and not to be taken at face value. Unlike many of them, he knows other things too, such as what “monetarism” was. He absolutely gets my vote.”**Kevin Higgins **
