    Greenberg makes dazzling explorations into the secrets embedded in language. Greenberg deals with words as strange objects that offer obscure meanings which might explain life, but she is no simple "experimental" writer--rather, she remembers that what poetry does best is produce complex meaning in the never-ending possibilities language affords.
    Michael R. Allen, Rain Taxi

    Arielle Greenberg...delivers, up-to-date, intellectually challenging comic verse, a nose and a half ahead of most of her peers: her best work remains both slippery and sharp, like ice skates in use.
