Critical assessment

Jon Davis received effusive praise from David Foster Wallace in an otherwise scathing criticism of prose poetry. Wallace commented "a poet whom this reviewer'd never heard of before but whose pieces in this anthology are so off-the-charts terrific that the reviewer has actually gone out and bought the one Jon Davis book mentioned in his bio-note and may very well decide to try to advertise it in this magazine, at reviewer's own expense if necessary—that's how good this guy is."[4]
