	Diane di Prima, Loba
		Di Prima seeks to fulfill this purpose by gathering together and recreating mythologies, especially those that connect to her own roles as woman and poet.
		Di Prima creates a harmony between the roles of women by pairing these voiceless women with her all-powerful Loba Goddess.
		If di Prima's main purpose here is to create new myths and roles for women, she is also refuting the roles that men and women have long accepted as truth.

	Metroactive Books \| Diane di Prima
		Di Prima's descriptions of domestic life with Marlowe in Manhattan and in Topanga Canyon in the early 1960s make for one of the saddest portraits of a marriage I have ever read.
		When she's at her best, di Prima doesn't hide from the mirror image, even when it shows her to be a prisoner of conventionality, not the free woman she'd like to be.
		Despite the New York publisher and the close encounters with editors and lawyers, di Prima is still a rebel in the spirit of the 1960s, and in the spirit, too, of her Italian, anarchist grandfather Domenico Mallozzi.

		Here, di Prima's invocations are spiked with etymological probings of received wisdom, as when examining the roots of ethics: "& ethos/ is not/ cannot be/ prima materia/ all "honor"/ is derivative." Such sentiments, "soft/ as russian vowels," show di Prima to be a pivotal figure for those who would rewrite the archetypes of the unconscious.
		Diane di Prima's poetry has been essentially lyrical, even in its most radical aspects, but she has chosen to define this work of her maturity as an epic, inasmuch as an epic is a narrative poetic work about a quest.
		The volume is replete with teachings, reflections and musings on life that di Prima wants to share with her readers, and that come forth as brief and powerful aphorisms, as in the first verse of poem "He Who Was Not Born from a Lotus": "It is the Word that is the Ground of Love.

	DiPrima
		Di Prima delivers on raunch, providing a wild tale of sexual exploration that begins with the main character (arguably Di Prima, who drew heavily from personal experience) losing her virginity and ends with the character's first pregnancy.
		Di Prima's no-holds-barred honesty (the sex is real, with all of the funky smells and personal quirks) and her joyful appreciation for the finer details in life (e.g., a good cup of coffee, well-sugared) separates this book from the murky sea of erotica --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

		Di Prima, youthful and smiling, with groovy, lace-up, Italian-looking sandals is sitting on top of an upright piano, book in hand, giving what appears to be an engaging reading.
		Over the course of forty years, di Prima has certainly gained control of the means by which her work has been published.
		When di Prima's work is reviewed by the mainstream press, or is discussed within broader Anglo-literary contexts, it is usually accompanied by some kind of disparaging commentary.

		Di Prima later explained, "All my writing was completely predicated on getting the slang of N. in the period in the early 50's, down on paper somehow or another" ("An Interview with Diane di Prima" 29).
		What the Black Mountain impulse (and here I add in di Prima who had completely digested Ezra Pound when she was still very young) contributed to the emerging poem of the city was a precision of imagery and a voice of utter candor.

	Diane Di Prima: The Dark Beauty Of Beat Poetry. Part II.
		Her direct honesty in dealing with sexual issues, political issues, and the random pursuit of pleasure cannot be understated or ignored.
		In "Pieces Of A Song", a sort of literary anthology, her blunt manner of telling the truth surfaces in "No Problem Party Poem." Again, it is the timing and rhythm of the poem mixed with its' frankness that keep the poem from drifting into another lost regressive poem.
		Another aspect that characterizes a Di Prima poem is her ability to use one word or phrase with constant use of a repetitive manner to add strength to the tone of the poem.

	Diane Di Prima: The Dark Beauty Of Beat Poetry
		There was always some deep enchantment with Diane Di Prima, boardering on the realms of mysticism; circling words where the mirror has been cracked making the illusion surrounding reality fade in the sparseness of an early morning light's dawning.
		Part of the enchantment may have been in her appear- ance, for she carried with her a beauty so striking and seductive that it made the fifties era turn a face towards the misty shores of Bohemia.
		With one of her first books, "Dinners and Nightmares", Di Prima set the stage for the revolutionary, sharing with both worlds, the realms of darkness and sexuality.

	Jacket 18 - Diane di Prima in conversation with David Hadbawnik, August 2001
		Diane di Prima: I think to start with, there was that ‘men were a luxury’ thing that I got at the grandparents’ house, much as my grandfather was clearly the head of the family in terms of, he was the most intellectual, he was looked up to, and so on.
		And that matters, in that you have a ground from which the people who have stature are going to grow, they don’t have to start in a place where there’s nothing at all and invent a platform and stand on that, there’s like a real ground of fertile energy all the time.
		Well, there was, Margaret Kilgallen just died, and she had a show in New York, and there was a big piece about her in the New York Times, so that was surprising...

		If you're saying to yourself, "di Prima?" you are one of the main reasons I wrote this article.

	SF Bay Guardian pick of Diane di Prima reading (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A leading voice of the still-beating beat generation, and one of the only women associated with it, Diane di Prima will read from her epic poem Loba this weekend at DivaFest, the Exit Theatre's yearly showcase of art and performance by women.
		In all her roughly 50 years' worth of poetry, Loba is something like an ongoing magnum opus, a search for a new conception of the feminine that (when Loba: Book I came out in 1978) some called the feminist counterpart to Ginsberg's Howl.
		Di Prima will concentrate on the as-yet-unpublished Book III portions at DivaFest, so this chance to join a real-live beatnik poetry reading should include more than just the warm sheen of nostalgia.

	Poetry Previews: Diane DiPrima
		In this passage di Prima is presenting "synchronicity" as a psychological strategy—just as Jung does.
		In doing this, these readers will discover things not only about di Prima but about the modes of mythological thinking out of which such poetry arises—which is to say that they will discover things about themselves.
		The hunger of childhood for that world is natural...." It is of course also relevant to point out that di Prima's poem is full of passages of the most gorgeous and poignant language, that it is "brilliant" in that sense too.
