DIANE DI PRIMA: AN EVENING OF READING & CONVERSATION

The Poetics Group is looking forward to this event tomorrow night, sponsored by the Center for Humanities:
October 15, Friday, 6:00pm, Martin E. Segal Theatre
Diane di Prima
Join the iconic poet and activist Diane di Prima for a rare New York City appearance. Graduate Center Professor Ammiel Alcalay will engage her in a conversation about her work and life after her reading. Over the span of her remarkable career, di Prima has published 43 books of poetry and prose and, as per Allen Ginsberg, “broke barriers of race-class identity and delivered a major body of verse brilliant in its particularity.” She is presently the Poet Laureate of San Francisco. A two-volume Lost & Found chapbook selection of her lectures on poets H.D. and Robert Duncan will be available for purchase on the night of the event.
