Our deepest condolences to the family. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort you all during this difficult period.

No matter what age a person dies it is still difficult to deal with. May the God of and comfort be with the family during this most difficult time.

Diane was my teacher in the early nineties. Thanks to her I see the centrality of poetry; though it we connect with each other, in a way no other art form can do. I am so sorry to learn of her death.

Sincere condolences to Diane di Prima family, friends and fans. May you find comfort in your treasured memories of your dear loved one in the days, months and years ahead. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives.

I would like to offer my sincere sympathies to the di Prima family, so very sorry for your loss. May God grant peace and strength to all of you as you go through such a very difficult time.

Since seeing Diane di Prima read "Light Poem" in Bob Mann's film Poetry in Motion I have attracted to her visionary work as a POET. Her style and substance, her magnetic speaking voice drew me into a world of language that to this day I happily inhabit. A beautiful and sensuous woman, her photograph inspires me to write. She granted me permission to celebrate my own language universe.

Sending prayers and condolences.

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

May God who is tender in mercy comfort the family and many friends of Diane di Prima. So sorry for your loss.
