Trehy is an eminently readable poet, tho you have to pay attention as you proceed through each work. He promotes this further with a vocabulary that is large and sometimes technical but full of wit & more than a few echoes"
Ron Silliman (USA)

Uniquely, Tony Trehy has developed an international reputation as a poet and text artist alongside his work as an innovative curator. To date he has published 5 books of poetry in the UK and abroad, plus poetic essays and text-art theory. His work is also included in various published and online anthologies. His performance style is entertaining and friendly while his writing is rigorous and often challenging. Leading American figures have reviewed his work, commenting:

"One might say that, just as William Carlos Williams brought 'American speech' into the long tradition of 'making' poetry in English/American literary usage/language, so Tony Trehy has introduced the lingo/thinking ('style') of mathematics into the 'poem-containing-history' - well emboldened by passionate, personal knowledges of his own" Robert Grenier (USA)

"Trehy isn’t really like anyone else at all.
