"Arjun von Caemmerer's book (created and selected over 25 years) creates a world that allows the reader to plunge into the very depths of poetry - variously visual, amorous, humorous, sensual, cerebral, and musical. It is a textbook of thinking, and includes the first bull-blown print release of Lingua Franka, his truly unruly homage to the late, great Frank Zappa."–Back cover.
'Tasmanian poet Arjun von Caemmerer’s Vice Versa: New and Selected Poems(Collective Effort, 2016) is a chronological selection from an oeuvre that spans publications from Two’s Kisses (1992) to Recombinants (2015). At its best, it’s idiosyncratic and intriguing, characterised by its playfulness, wit, concrete effects, typography, and variety of forms.' (Introduction)
