as some women love jewels, love the jewels of life
“All the poems in this collection,” Diane Wakoski writes, “describe the ongoing process of discovering beauty and acquiring an aesthetic sensibility via food”––seeing and savoring it, cooking and sharing it, reaching out to all creation and drawing it in, devouring it, lapping it up, literally becoming one with it. In the title poem, chosen by Adrienne Rich for inclusion in Best American Poetry, the poet recalls an early memory of delight in pure color––”Red stains on a clean white bib. . . crimson blood on canvas.” Blood and crisp cotton as ink and paper, bread and wine as flesh and blood, the meal as art and as sacrament––this is the stuff of The Butcher’s Apron, a feast for lovers of “the jewels of life.”

Diane Wakoski is a groundbreaking poet and the author of more than thirty books. Wakoski’s conversational, seemingly informal work merges the confessional and deep image to create compelling, story-like poems. The Poetry Society of America awarded Wakoski the William Carlos Williams Prize and Electric Literature called her a “legend.” She is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University.
