... Books "Cool"
by Diane Di Prima from RE/Search #2, 1981 Back to: The Shocking Tabloid Issues
Diane has been "cool" since the 1950's. Her first book of poems, This Kind of Bird Flies Backwards, was published in 1958. Her association with her peers, the 'Beats' and later key figures of the 60s and 70s have resulted in a varied volume of work reflecting her individual experiences. The following is based on an interview of Diane by artist and poet Raul Santiago Sebazco (San Fransico 1980). Somewhere along the line I made an important decision. I decided to have a baby. I didn't want to live with any man, I didn't want a one-to-one relationship...but my body wanted a babyhe didn't. He was my first choice. I had 6 or 7 lovers and what happened then was I made a semi-conscious choice. The man I chose was a man I had been in love with 6 years before. He was in town only occasionally and studying at Johns Hopkins at the time. He was still an exciting person to me. I didn't intend to get pregnant that day but I did. I didn't tell him I was pregnant until the baby was 3 months old-then I wrote him a Christmas card that said, "By the way, you have a daughter in New York, come see us sometime." We were all into being very cool back then, you know...

MODERN PAGANS
Excerpt from interview with Diane di Prima
Diane di Prima: I have a root in some kind of Paganism like that which was also very deep in my grandmother's Catholicism. There was a day when you ate no salt, a day when you ate no breadSt. Lucy or Santa Lucia's day which is celebrated in Northern Europe, too, when Swedish women wear crowns of candles. The saint of light, Lucia, lux, Lucyshe was a very important figure in my grandmother's world. Although nobody said, "This is Pagan," there was a basic interest and awe in the things of the turning of the seasons and being on the planet, that were handed to me from way back.
When I was in high school, eight women in our writing group did a lot of experimenting with the paranormaltelepathy, trance, and seance. That all went away when I became just a writer and dropped out of college, but it came back with a big bang when I was about 31 and started to fool around with Tarot cards, and would have lucid dreams. I was living in New Mexico. In the afternoons when it was hot I would stare at one card and go to sleep. When I awoke I would always have had a dream about that card. It didn't seem remarkable or strangeI didn't have to work at itit just happened.
Tibetan Buddhism is concerned with, at the least, the 31 major star systems that have Dzogchen. It's not based in the material facts of life. It's my main belief system, within which Paganism fits quite comfortably as regards how you deal with this earth and being on it.

Beat the Devil: Poet Diane di Prima published her life story at a corporate pressbut she did it her way. Beating the Odds Poet Diane di Prima tells what it was like to be a Beatand a woman By Jonah Raskin T HE DEVIL always gets his due in America, especially in big-time publishing. Jack Kerouac found that out, and he came to hate the fame that accompanied his career as a bestselling author. Allen Ginsberg felt the same way. "I feel like a prisoner of Allen Ginsberg," he once complained. Diane di Primaprobably the best-known woman writer of the Beat Generationhas always been wary of publishing with the Devil. But probably she'll survive her current skirmish with fame better than her Beat brothers, if only because she has never needed big-time literary attention. Recollections of My Life as a Woman (Viking; cloth; $29.95), di Prima's 34th book in the last 40 or so years, is her first work to appear under the imprint of a corporate publishing house. All her previous books, including Revolutionary Letters and This Kind of Bird Flies Backward a title that suggests her own cultural flight back in time to 19th-century bohemianismwere published by small, alternative presses like City Lights and Totem.

Diane must have been the cousin of a mafia don. How else could she get published? She should have written lesbian books, then she would have had an audience.
Anyway, this Anis Nin of the Beats just hung around and fucked. Couldn't write worth a damn. But who cares. It's great to see girls in the fifties write pornography. I would fuck her. We're not sure if she's still alive, but I would have fucked the girl in the photograph. Submitted by McCutcheon

Diane di Prima - Beatin prinsessa
Diane di Prima syntyi vuonna 1934 New Yorkissa. Kolmetoista vuotiaana hän päätti tulla runoilijaksi, kaksikymmenvuotiaana hän tapasi Ezra Poundin, ja muutaman vuoden vanhempana Ginsbergin, Kerouacin, Orlovskyn ja Corson. Ensimmäisen runoteoksensa hän julkaisi vuonna 1958, This Kind of Bird Flies Backwards.
1960-luvulla hänestä tuli beat-henkinen vallankumouksellinen aktivisti, "sankarillinen sekä elämässä että runoudessa" (Ginsberg). Hän toimitti lukuisia erilaisia kirjallisuuslehtiä, kuten Floating Bear (Le Roi Jonesin kanssa 1961-69), Kulchur (1960-61), The Poets Press (1964-69) ja Eidolon (1972-76). Teatterin, tapahtumien ja runokiertueiden värittämien vuosien jälkeen hän on opiskellut ja opettanut zen-buddhismia, alkemiaa, magiaa, parantamista ja tiibetinbuddhismia. Lapsia hänellä on useita, ja tänään hän on jo isoäiti.
Diane di Prima on julkaissut 32 teosta runoa ja proosaa, ja on avustanut yli 300 julkaisua eri puolilla maailmaa. Hänen teoksiaan on käännetty yli 20 kielelle. Vallankumoukselliset kirjeet oli hänen kahdestoista runokokoelmansa. Kirjeet syntyivät 1968-1970 amerikkalaisen kukkaiskumouksen nosteessa, ja ne ovat jatkaneet omaa elämäänsä lukuisina erilaisina painoksina. Omassa lajissaan tämä klassikoksi kohonnut pieni teos on lyömätön.

Diane di Prima Interview
Since I was young I've admired beat literature and it's developers. My young mind was taken with the romantic image of Kerouac roaming the interior of the body politic, a mad sweating virus on the loose in the highwayvein of Amerika, Ginsberg holy maniac,chanting, praying, exorcising a generation ruined by madness, Burroughs and Gysin, pushing the envelope, rubbing out the word, and di Prima, conjuring, straddling the magick/dream line, throwing us bits of tasty metamorsels and sumptuous subconscious feasts. If you're saying to yourself, "di Prima?" you are one of the main reasons I wrote this article. Even if you have heard of Diane's work you have to admit, in a field that already has an amazing paucity of women, to overlook even one seems like a capital crime, especially this one. Diane di Prima is a San Francisco writer and poet who works in healing, Magick, and Alchemy.Her more recent books are : Pieces of a Song -Collected Poems , City Lights, 1990, Zip Code , Coffee House Press,1992, and Seminary Poems , Floating Press, 1991.

This Old Poem #66:
Diane Di Prima’s Rant
‘I think the poet is the last person who is still speaking the truth when no one else dares to. I think the poet is the first person to begin the shaping and visioning of the new forms and the new consciousness when no one else has begun to sense it; I think these are two of the most essential human functions’ -Diane Di Prima st
http://dianediprima.com/
ddiprima@earthlink.net . Nonetheless, there is virtually nothing of worth that nearly 50 years of writing has produced. Her ‘status’ as a Beatnik babe will long outlast her status as a ‘poet’. But, before I delve too deeply in to the mystery of why DDP is a bad poet, let’s take a look at DDP’s life, culled from assorted sources: DDP was born in Brooklyn, New York, in August 6 th New York Poets Theatre Poets Press The Floating Bear . It actually lasted 8 years (1961-1969)- so could be considered semi-successful. In 1958 This Kind of Bird Flies Backwards , her 1 st book of poetry, was published. In 1960, Dinners and Nightmares , her 1 st book of short stories appeared.

    RECOLLECTIONS OF MY LIFE AS A WOMAN (The New York Years)
    a memoir by Diane di Prima
    Putnam Viking 2001 $29.95 hardback Poetry lovers will find a lot to enjoy in this frank and artfully written memoir. A virtual who's who of the downtown New York art scene of the late fifties and early sixties is featured in Diane di Prima's splendid Recollections Of My Life As A Woman . Such luminaries as Frank O'Hara, Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Jim Dine, James Waring, Cecil Taylor, John Wieners, Audre Lourde, Yvonne Rainer, Philip Whalen, Yoko Ono, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jack Smith, Larry Rivers, Helen Adam, Robert Duncan, Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and many others come and go as di Prima tells the story of her emergence as a poet during one of the most creative periods in New York City's history. Di Prima's comments on the creative process while telling the story about The Poets Theatre's production of Michael McClure's The Blossom, with set designs by assemblage artist George Herms, becomes a fascinating exposition on the subject of art as magic. This production included the airing of Antonin Artaud's To Have Done With The Judgment of God over the night sky above Bleeker Street. Grounded in the basic hard work of theatrical production, di Prima relays the chaos and madness and transforming power that occurs when art enters the realm of the divine. This is art as magick, she tells usnot art as entertainmentand it is this magickal path she chose in order to make her way in life.
