	Splendid: Departments: Bookshelf: The Butcher's Apron
		Diane Wakoski's ambitious new book is odd, if I can say that without any trace of pejorative.
		Wakoski does the same, but as a poet, she stirs in lean surfers, hummingbirds and Reubens.
		Wakoski's dictum has annoyed me for days, and I've reflected on the statement while reading The Butcher's Apron; it's even forced me to reread some of my own poems in the light of her assertion.

	Amazon.com: Medea the Sorceress (The Archaeology of Movies and Books, V. 1): Books: Diane Wakoski (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		That award is a fitting tribute, for Wakoski draws on Williams' book-length poem Paterson as a model for her recent volume, Medea the Sorceress.
		Wakoski draws upon Williams' example of incorporating short lyric poems, letters to various friends, prose fragments from other authors and meditations on various subjects (notably the new physics and Hollywood movies) into an overall layered verse structure.

	Diane Wakoski - Black Sparrow Books
		Here, returned to print at last, are all the famous (and infamous) lyrics, series, and narratives that established Wakoski as a mythologizer of sex and self, a fierce free-verse imagist, and one of the most important and controversial poets to come out of California in the 1960s.
		About these poems, Wakoski writes: “My themes are loss, justice, truth, transformation, the duality of the world, the possibilties of magic, and the creation of beauty out of ugliness.
		Diane Wakoski's twenty-fifth book is also her second selected poems, complementing Emerald Ice by gathering her best work from 1988 to 2000.

	Women’S Lib: Arguments Against Female Inferiority In Diane Wakoski’S Belly Dancer
		In Belly Dancer, Diane Wakoski is endorsing the Women’s Liberation Movement in an effort to rouse repressed women into supporting the Movement.
		Wakoski uses a double meaning in line eighteen when she states Yet that movement could be their own [‘that’ meaning the snake’s].

	berniE-zine Book Reviews: Emerald Ice: Selected Poems 1962-1987, by Diane Wakoski
		The collection would be more appropriately titled "A Woman Scorned" since about ninety percent of the poems contained within these 343 pages are the rantings of a woman complaining about men, the unsuitability of all of her lovers, and how ugly she is and has been all her life.
		Wakoski exhibits a lurid fascination with George Washington over the course of the 25 years covered by this collection, setting him up as an ideal against which all her lovers are compared.
		Although Wakoski's voice in this collection is primarily that of a complaintative spinster, the few strong poems indicate there may be more to her than the "selected" poems in

		But I know what Wakoski is driving at here, and in fact her point is not necessarily at odds with my sense of aesthetic consistency, so lets try to tease out a little what it suggests or implies.
		Wakoski does make use of persona and character, but with an edginess and depth you’ll never find in one of those poems Ted Kooser vetted through his secretary to ensure that she "understood" it.
		That, I think, is what Diane Wakoski is driving after when she uses the phrase “our unique and richest voices,” and while I would never choose those words – I still have an aversion to the metaphor of voice – can hear that.

		When asked who the poem is addressing Wakoski said, "clearly in my mind it's a 'you' who was a betrayer in my life, that moves in and out of my poems over the years.
		In a sense, Wakoski revises our culture's interpretation of this myth by focusing on aspects of Medea that are often forgotten.
