"The poems swing from worldly to wild."
Georgia Straight, Vancouver
“Averbach’s poetry ranges from the erotic to the political, and the dynamic sounds that mix classic Gershwin to Chet Baker with original compositions give poetry an afterlife of freshness that pulls you in.”
Word on the Street Festival, Vancouver
