the poet diane di prima died today [1934 - 2020].  i don't know how to phrase myself.  i just learned about her death via twitter.  she mattered a great deal to me.  i was thrilled when she graciously gave us several of pieces for our two volume massive anthology about climate change i coedited with john bloomberg-rissman & t.c. marshall, the end of the world project volume 1 & volume 2.  di prima was a powerhouse poet.  our world is worst off without her being in it.  in fact, it fucking sucks.

rest in peace & power, diane di prima.
