Poet and educator Diane Wakoski was born and educated in California. Her poems tend to be personal narratives, seeming almost confessional because of her ability to project a person behind the narrative. Her poetic themes often explore relationships, memories, or observations on modern society, and her style is unique and non-traditional. She has been an instructor or poet-in-residence at schools in many areas of the country.
