“I think I'm a very good reader of poetry, but obviously, like everybod...” — Diane Wakoski Quote

“I think I'm a very good reader of poetry, but obviously, like everybody, I have a set of criteria for reading poems, and I'm not shy about presenting them, so if people ask for my critical response to a poem, I tell them what works and why, and what doesn't work and why.”
