Diane Wakoski is a groundbreaking poet and the author of more than thirty books. Wakoski’s conversational, seemingly informal work merges the confessional and deep image to create compelling, story-like poems. The Poetry Society of America awarded Wakoski the William Carlos Williams Prize and Electric Literature called her a “legend.” She is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University.
”Wakoski is a dedicated independent. . .self-mythologizing, autobiographically grounded, at her strongest when most self-consciously outspoken. b>The Butcher’s Apron: New and Selected Poems may lift her above her cult constituency.”––Publishers Weekly ”Dipping into this volume is like sticking your finger into a pot of honey. Highly recommended.”––Library Journal
