The Feminist Poet's Bible

Wakoski's beautiful & brutal language weaves itself into a poetric lyric that is unmatched in women's poetry today. She attacks every subject & issue with intensity and strips flesh from bone. This collection is a MUST HAVE.
Beautiful, Honest Words
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Diane Wakoski is one of those poets that grabs you with her honesty and her crystalline lyrics. Although her poems are usually fiercely personal, Wakoski's strength lies in her ability not only to translate her grief, but to allow the reader to find something of themselves in it. She is a wonderful writer, whom I can recommend without reservation. My favorite piece from Emerald Ice- I Have Had To Learn To Live With My Face.
