"Paul K’s Evoked Voltage is full of exuberant surrealism, mining the depths of language and typography in an expressionistic and often playful manner. There are moments of social/political commentary, as well as everyday realities dismembered by word play and sound play, including some true sound poems. There are also visual poems using exclusively typographic symbols and elements. These, in addition to being visually compelling, would make great scores for vocal performance, with specific symbols assigned specific sounds, a practice of classic Dada poetry and performances. All in all, this is a rich and lively volume."
     – Dr. John M. Bennett

"Voila! Verbal voltage evoked, invoked, is in vested’n re vented here with vim. Paul Keily verily keeps on piling in ternal rhyme, grammar’s vote revoked. A word-flurry farmed in far-flung forms of phonetic poetic frenzy, heard as funny or firmly termed: all elastic-mouthed, lilting alliteration, sound-led-round performance-progeny-poems – plus they play and play up and play out and play games, as the poetry pushes and pulls us each which way amidst un predictable slips here and there in the mud or the blood or the nacho sauce, always fresh and effusive, musive, loosens, tugs at our chunky net of words inside."
