"...this is a poetry of realness - engaging, engaged, challenging, and raw. Goldberg is one to keep an eye on." -- Make/Shift Magazine

"Giraffe Medicine-- Like a modern-day shaman, she conjures up images you've never seen before. Like a subversive beatnik, she tweaks the way you think about everyday reality. And like a word monger from Planet Thesaurus, she gives your brain a bounce. A good bet for anyone who has ever wondered about the connection between rap and E.E. Cummings." --THE G-MAN Hollywood Free Press

"Hilary Goldberg is at play, at risk, at breath stopping, heart piercing pain and at all times she is with eyes wide open. Her gaze is steady. She never looks away. Both in her life and in her art. These are her poems, her life, her experiences." -- Penny Arcade, www.pennyarcade.tv

"...this sumptuous collection of spoken word text serves a wide range of topics through the beautifully embedded cadence in which rhythm creates its own form within the realm of free verse." -- Clint Catalyst
