Wanda Coleman is the unofficial poet laureate of the city of Los Angeles. Marilyn Hacker called Coleman “a poet whose angry and extravagant music, so far beyond baroque, has been making itself heard across the divide between West Coast and East, establishment and margins, slams and seminars, across the too-American rift among races and genders.” Coleman is the author of ten books, most recently Jazz and Twelve O’Clock Tales.
