description: THE DICTIONARY OF WORDPLAY is the first dictionary of wordplay, ever. Poet Dave Morice, author of The Adventures of Dr. Alphabet and Alphabet Avenue and longtime editor of the "Kickshaws" column of Word Ways magazine, is uniquely qualified to show us the whole spectrum of the expansive field of wordplay. The book ranges from literary forms such as the acrostic and the Exqusite Corpse to wellknown wordplay genres such as palindromes, spoonerisms, anagrams and beyond. An invaluable reference for writers, teachers, students, linguists, and anyone who loves language, THE DICTIONARY OF WORDPLAY is also an endlessly enjoyable read.
