"Brilliant compilation... beaulieu has written and edited many books and has self-produced hundreds of smaller 'items' through his publishing houses. It speaks to the marginality of this form of [conceptual] writing that he is not better known. Perhaps this excellent introduction to his oeuvre will begin to undo that disservice." -- Jay Smith -- Alberta Views, November 2013, 201312
"An engaging cross-section that offers beaulieu's longtime readers a chance to revisit and rethink his practice while offering new readers an opportunity to explore a variety of innovative linguistic tactics.... By re-orienting beaulieu's politics ... Please, No More Poetry becomes a more engaging book than a simple celebration of an author's work and accomplishments. It becomes a vital and engaging crossroads where ... seemingly opposing sociopolitical fronts can meet and battle it out.... A crucial collection that not only looks back on a brilliant career, but looks toward the future of the medium itself, offering a sampling of innovative writing strategies and seeking a place for poets that is relevant, valuable, and meaningful in the contemporary world." -- Eric Schmaltz -- Lemond Hound, June 13, 2013, 201404
"A solid cross-section that serves as a strong introduction to the poet's writings, as well as to concrete poetry generally (given the density of beaulieu's work), the volume will handsomely reward readers seeking to broaden their conceptions of what poetry could be." -- Jonathan Ball -- Winnipeg Free Press, March 23, 2013, 201305
