SUMMARY:Diane Wakowski Reading
DESCRIPTION:
 Join Diane as she reads from her new book, Bay 
 of Angels. Bay of Angels, published October 
 15, 2013 by Anhinga Press, is a collection of 
 poems featuring three different aspects of Wakoski's 
 poetry and her use of personal mythology. 
 In the first section, all the poems stem 
 from some film, which has resonance in her 
 own world, such as the existential romance and 
 gambling, which are the subject of the title 
 poem from a French film, Bay of Angels. The 
 second section features visions of growing up 
 in California's mythic territory: Hollywood, 
 Los Angeles, and Orange County. The third section 
 continues her experimentation with the 
 hybrid form, embedding poems in epistolary address, 
 including poems and exchanges from her 
 email correspondence with a young poet, called 
 The Pizza Boy or The Shadow Boy.\n
