Raptosh Interviewed by Ashmavegh:
"The poet watches for beauty and listens toward justice."
https://ashvamegh.net/diane-raptosh-interview-alok-mishra/
John Paul Russo from Italian Americana: Cultural and Historical Review, Volume XXXV Number 1 Winter 2017:
"This is her most accomplished work in a highly productive career barely at its mid-point.... From her first works, Raptosh has always been a risk-taker, on subject matter as on tone and texture.... as for the key theme of the book, in and through her twirling of ideas, emotions, and words, her "human directional" is poetry, a magister vitae, a rule of life whose rewards are personal rapture and communal harmony. If her final goal is to celebrate community, it is one achieved by her appreciation of difference and her capacity to set her subjects on an equal footing."
Raptosh Featured in Go Idaho, November, 2017
https://goidaho.com/diane-raptosh/
Reviewer Joey Nicoletti from Voices in Italian Americana, Volume 28 Number 1, 2017, writes the following about Human Directional:
"Raptosh's sense of urgency makes her readers care about what's at stake in each poem and why it should, or could matter to them at least as much as to her speakers, if not more so. Their concerns go beyond the self in interesting and immediate ways, and the reader is wiser for having pulled up a chair and listened. . . . [Raptosh] has the control of a skilled conductor, steering her trains of thought through sharp turns of phrase and multi-layered emotional terrain."
Sign Twirler Crunches Some Numbers.

Is Poetry Dead? From the New York Times, July 28, 2014
Never.
“I just stood there with a mike like a lounge lizard, reading poems and leading haiku exercises,” say I on reading poetry in a moving school bus.
