A sustained meditation on personal past and the secret nature of reality, this multi-volume work unearths a wealth of hidden meanings from the first-person-historical dimensions recording a Southern California girlhood, moves to Berkeley, Nevada and Michigan, and the chain of great expectations developed along the way—built out of Hollywood movie dreams ("imagining our lives, instead of living them") and inevitably shattered by disappointing and betraying real-life relationships. The bittersweet and ironic evocations of the failed loves of her life make this among the most moving as well as revealing of Wakoski's books.

The Archaeology of Movies and Books: Volume 1: Medea the Sorceress
I liked the obvious humor in several of the poems, but I thought she was less focused overall than she was in Jason the Sailor...but perhaps since Medea the Sorceress came out first, she hadn't yet figured out what her overall focus was going to be? Also, there seem to be more letters in this book than in Jason, and while lots of them are very interesting, sometimes they just seem to rehash the same old stuff. I tend to think that, were I Jonathan or Craig (the two men she writes to), I might tell her to get a new schtick. But I still liked it, and am very interested in Wakoski as a poet.
