"This is nothing short of fabulous. Our celebrity culture is in such desperate need of an enema. We're completely clogged up with ego and projects like this have become essential in every way." Mario Petrucci

"Names here don’t count. Only the poetry does. It is judged by its words, its form, the way it sounds, the way it looks. Quality matters. Remember that elusive factor? At Anon it’s back." Peter Finch
