"Diane di Prima, revolutionary
activist of the 1960s Beat literary
renaissance, heroic in life and
poetics: a learned humorous
bohemian, classically educated and
twentieth-century radical, her
writing, informed by Buddhist
equanimity, is exemplary in
imagist, political and mystical
modes. A great woman poet in
second half of American century,
she broke barriers of race-class
identity, delivered a major body of
verse brilliant in its particularity."
-- Allen Ginsberg
