PROGRAM NOTES:












This is the story of Diane di Prima—poet, publisher, revolutionary, and one of the bravest women of the Beat generation. We follow her from a Brooklyn bedroom in the 1950s where she's burning her college rejection letter, through smoky Village lofts where she's challenging Jack Kerouac about how he writes women, to FBI interrogation rooms, psychedelic gatherings at Timothy Leary's Millbrook estate, protests where she reads poetry through clouds of tear gas, and finally to her years as a teacher passing the flame to new generations.



Along the way she crosses paths with Allen Ginsberg, Janis Joplin, Gary Snyder, Terence McKenna, Patti Smith, and others who were reimagining what it meant to be human in America.
