“Buddhist Ruminations: Poetry and Spirit”
Poetry Reading by Beat icon and current San Francisco Poet Laureate Diane di Prima
A practicing Buddhist since 1962 -- first in the Zen tradition, and later in the Tibetan Vajrayana system --
Diane has studied Hinduism and is a practitioner of Western magick. Many of her finest poems reflect these studies and practices.
In her sixth annual solo appearance for DivaFest, she will read poems inspired by these traditions,
and talk about the place of spiritual practice in her life as a poet.
