She is so sincere in her involvement that one must pay attention. Her sensuous language transcends ideas and leaves me thinking, 'Yes, yes, follow your body.' This seems to me the promise of future poems.\" \u003cstrong\u003e—Diane Wakoski \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I find Daniela Gioseffi's poems imaginatively rich, startling, intelligent . . . and eloquent in a manner relevant to one of the most profound issues of our time: the relationship of the masculine and feminine principles inside the self and society. A feminist writer who celebrates what it is to be a woman, Ms. Gioseffi is also genuinely a poet whose work comes from the part of the personality that gives, shares and creates bonds rather than from the part that is divisive and militant.\" \u003cstrong\u003e—John Logan \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Animated, voluptuous . . .
