I'm Your Field Trip Katharine Polenberg

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 . . . . . . the final stop on her tour- the readers realization that other peoples suffering can be an interesting (and even a fun) place to visit- leaves us relieved- and oddly sad- that we don't have to live there.
