Wakoski, Diane (Vol. 11) | Introduction
Wakoski, Diane 1937–
Wakoski is an American poet often linked with the confessional school. In her work she explores highly personal experiences, predominant themes being pain, loneliness, and lost love. Her alternating tones of humor and anger, however, save her work from maudlin sentimentality. (See also CLC, Vols. 2, 4, 7, 9, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 13-16, rev. ed.)
