More From Diane Wakoski
- "I definitely wish to distinguish American poetry from British or other English language poetry."
- "I have always wanted what I have now come to call the voice of personal narrative. That has always been the appealing voice in poetry. It started for me lyrically in Shakespeare’s sonnets."
- "But I am not political in the current events sense, and I have never wanted anyone to read my poetry that way."
