Industry Reviews
"The jazzy, conversational poems of SKIRTS AND SLACKS...discover music in the everyday....Di Piero's poems throb with the intensity of urban life, buried anger and old griefs that still ache...SKIRTS AND SLACKS is a dark, self-absorbed collection, but because Di Piero is so adept at articulating his obsessions, his poems enthrall rather than alienate."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review (05/13/2001)

"Poetry may never again be seen as essential equipment for living, but when practiced by W. S. Di Piero it might at least be valued as a handy household appliance. This appliance isolates sights, sounds and ideas from the rapid-fire, undifferentiated stream of sensory noise in which we daily swim. Offering scrupulously observant freeze frames of consciousness, Di Piero's seventh collection, SKIRTS AND SLACKS deserves convenient placement by the telephone, television, computer or radio so as to be ready to retune a static-buzzed mind's reflective potential...With language that's as simple as it is musical, Di Piero sets dazzling moments amid plainsong, thus surprising us when streetlights transform into feathery costumes."
New York Times Book Review - Albert Mobilio (08/05/2001)

"In his new book, the poet W. S. Di Piero manages to place the reader in specific places at particular times with such ease and authority that after a single reading I felt close to lives I’d known nothing about and cared nothing about until he introduced me to them."
Ploughshares - Philip Levine

"In his new book, the poet W. S. Di Piero manages to place the reader in specific places at particular times with such ease and authority that after a single reading I felt close to lives I’d known nothing about and cared nothing about until he introduced me to them."
