"Wanda Coleman is best known for what has often been termed her 'warrior voice' … Coleman's poet's voice too can weep elegiac, summoning memories of her childhood's neighborhoods - her South LA's wild-frond palms, the smog smear of pre-ecology consciousness."-Los Angeles Times
In Imagoes, Wanda Coleman blends memory with the reality of her present through an idiom that oscillates seamlessly between natural imagery and the urban edifice of Los Angeles. Booklist called it: "Hard, brilliant strokes shot through with street music."
