So . . . how can Diane di Prima be such a household name in my house and be totally absent from my library? How can I have most of William Bronk's books on my shelves but nothing by her? I can't even find an anthology in my collection with poems by Diane di Prima in it!
This says something about me, of course, i.e., the big holes in my reading of American poetry. It also says something about American publishing of the past sixty or seventy years. Plenty of Ginsberg out there in the mainline presses. Not much readily available by or about Ms di Prima, though.
Anyway, Diane di Prima, 1934 - 2020.
