Here’s what other folks have said: There are in the world a very few people who can make the language dance, so perfect, so accurate, so easy and so delightful, they can make you believe that anyone can do it. Anyone can't. Chocolate can. Brava! - Shelly Roberts, Author of Robert's Rules of Lesbian Living. "Behind a guise of humor, Chocolate Waters plants the seeds of discontent. She is a storyteller, serving up a feast of insights to the human condition - those things we often avoid at the banquet table - those things that, in the end, we know are healthiest for us. A little Chocolate helps the medicine go down easy."- Faith Vicinanza - poet, publisher, educator, witness “This woman has a comic gift that needs space.” - Camilla Decarnin, the Advocate“ To see Waters perform is the best way to experience what she has to say. And what she has to say is an earful.” - Joyce Bright, Mom...Guess What! "Chocolate Waters is brave, intrepid and funny!" - Robin Morgan, Editor Ms. "...sassy, irreverent, sexy, free-wheeling; sometimes scary and sometimes funny but always down-home honest." - Colette Inez; Guggenheim, Rockefeller and NEA fellow "Chocolate's voice, unique and stark through all her writing, is also brave, fluid and sensual..." - Wendy Stevens, off our backs "She's the funniest poet in America and I hope she makes me famous for saying it." - James Mechem, Editor Caprice “Waters raises consciousness and she raises hell. We are begging for her return.” - Nancy Aronie, NPR commentator “I really like Chocolate’s poems, especially the one called “Lyn Lifshin Follows Me Everywhere.” It’s lively and funny and original and full of surprises, like all her work. -Lyn Lifshin; THE most prolific poet ever! “Her work has a way of appearing light, easy to hear and entertaining, but all the while she's making complex, difficult connections and challenging statements." - Jan Hardy, Motheroot “She's a delightful writer and performer who converts even the most resistant to the lure of poetry.” - Dr. Jerome Cartwright, Utica College “The sweetest Chocolate you’ll ever know. She’s terrific—go see her!” - Flo Kennedy Ms. Waters - you are a river to your people! - Steve Weller, Computer Geek and World Traveler |
