Paperback 60 pages "All Terrain poems.  Ms. Polenberg brings the reader underground  and outside via the 30 poems in this collection. She walks us through a site where floorboards sing, pork roll equals justice, zombies cry together, drowning is intentional and God is a method actor. Her writing reveals a brain which has adapted to injury through the deliberate and self-prescribed application of poetry . . . "

" It's a MASSIVE JOLT of LIBERATION!!!! I am so blown away by these poems- Asbury Park Tattoo...etc...just wonderful stuff!! Oh, it is so good! I love it! "  - raves Tony Forte - Host of ODGMS!  http://ohdontgetmestarted.com/modules/news/
