A reread of a favorite collection of poems by one of my favorite poets. [a:Diane Wakoski|22012|Diane Wakoski|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1314383416p2/22012.jpg] explores so many themes in this collection: the multiplicity of the world, truth, justice, magic, loss, making lemonade from lemons. Her perceptions are keen, and her humor is also on full display. For example, her poem "George Washington Writes Home about Harvesting His Hemp" begins with these lines:

I won't take a lot of shit
in the name of love,
smoking it
or eating it,
or shoveling it for you

Or then there is the line that really resonated, from the poem "On the Subject of Roses,"

But no one should have to choose between Mozart and Beethoven

That is the same modern-day debate as Beatles vs. Rolling Stones. I love them both. Ms. Wakoski has wonderful command of language and wordplay.

Lots of I -I - I confusion interspersed with depressing leave-takings.

My favorite comes in WHISTLING:

Walking out to my car
the shadows of the parking lot
like sleeping alligators
are matter-of-fact
realities.
