Wakoski was given the William Carlos Williams Award for her "Emerald Ice: Selected Poetry 1962-1987."

Reviews

[J.C. Reilly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wakoski published this book in 1986, and in some ways it's much more "poemy" than her later work that I've read recently. I like that about this collection--she doesn't seem so heavy-handed on her "deep images," although they are there, and she writes about flowers and dinners with friends and rides to the airports. Wakoski's poems here seem fresher, less overworked (like I think Diamond Dog is), and possibly less desirous of relying on her poetic mythology--which is a mark in her favor. I enjoyed this collection a lot.
