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.

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.

God gave you a voice
and you gave us words
to help us think
to feel what it means
to be human
to let our emotions
guide our journey
through this gift of life
to be human
God Bless, Rest In Peace

Diane was, and is to me, a kind of spirit guide. Over 30 years of her warm and unwavering friendship are tucked into my heart. I think of her as a prophet who spoke through her poems and her life.
I loved and love her. I hope she is dancing in the clouds
I loved and love her. I hope she is dancing in the clouds
