"Peter's Eternity Road is fierce, political and sassy--definitely worth 15 cents in the pocket." — Flo Kennedy * * * "Chelnik's poetry reflects the rhythms of urban American life, its frenetic pace, its roaring energy. This is a poet whose roots go back to Whitman and Ginsberg, a poetry crammed with specific details that sensually recreate the poet's life and places in which he lives it. Chelnik is a unique and often startling poet." — Maria Maziotti Gillan * * *

Her poetry can be heard during the 50-minute independent film, Love and the Vampire, directed and produced by David Gold and Rick Poli, and shown at The Arlene's Grocery Picture Show's 2005 Festival and also has been aired on cable (Poetry Thin Air, The Art House Show), UHF-TV (The New Yorkers), WKCR FM NY (Art Waves), and Live365 web radio (Eadon's Place).
