Pre-eminently a collection of poems, Red Zone is more than that. Red Zone is a truly genre-busting work in the best postmodern style, combining pop-art features with sophisticated language practice.

For those who are interested in improving our social fabric and enjoy a creative interpretation of that reality, you will surely find Kim Goldberg’s Red Zone a thought provoking book and a great read.

The poems and pictures in Red Zone tell stories of our city, as seen through weeds and vacant lots. They give a voice to people who have little power; those who are living without society’s approval, and frequently, without even society‘s notice... The version of that journey shared through Goldberg’s eyes is fresh and poetic.

Nanaimo's "Ginsberg" ... This unique book has made a great space for itself on the shelf of Canadian poetry. May Goldberg’s mid-career switch from non-fiction author and freelance journalist, to rich poetic genius persist.
