"For those who believe erroneously that the avant-garde have no sense of humour, Peter Manson's Adjunct, An Undigest - certainly the most entertaining collection of the year - is highly recommended. A seven-year creation, it manically folds together rueful diary entries, irreverent comments on artists, writers and musicians, gleeful misprints, and all sorts of found and heard material. Undigested in appearance, but regurgitated in combinations either crafted or mathematically determined, the consistent hilarity of its relentless, deadpan juxtapositions has inescapably serious implications too." (Robert Potts, The Guardian)

"Manson's technique is to embroider pieces of real modern English onto a base text which broadly follows the shape, sounds and syntax of the original French verse. The poems that result retain the vagaries of their models while creating a persuasive illusion of living speech, almost as if the language were being distorted for the purposes of original expression, not translation." (Jeremy Noel-Tod, The Times Literary Supplement, on "Before and After Mallarmé")
