Reviews of An Oz Album
"William Alba combines visual and poetic whimsy in An Oz Album. [D]elightfully eccentric verse... set in acrobatic arrangements."
Read this full-page review in the Fall 2001 alumni magazine of St. John's College (350k PDF).
"Alba's experiments with typography and word design are compelling. An Oz Album is as much a work of visual art as it is literary art."

"[E]voking Oz, evoking feelings about books and ownership... Alba's Oz is Chicago, and through his adventures we see an intriguing mix of the public and private worlds of a Chicago resident."
Read the rest of this review in the May 2002 issue of this magazine of the Art Institute of Chicago.
"Once in a while, a book comes along that includes every ingredient for which one could hope: Exquisite poems, striking graphics, academic allusions and tactile delights. William Alba's odyssey, An Oz Album, contains all of these and more."
