Diane di Prima: Visionary Poetics and the Hidden Religions shows how central di Prima was in the articulation and dissemination of the major themes of the counterculture-Beat and hippie and “New Age”-from the fifties to the present.Di Prima was at the center of literary, artistic and musical culture in New York. She also was at the energetic fulcrum of the Beat movement and, with Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka), edited The Floating Bear (1961-69), a central publication of the period to which William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Olson and O'Hara contributed. Di Prima was also a pioneer in her challenges to conventional assumptions regarding gender, marriage and the role of women. David Stephen Calonne charts the life work of di Prima (1934-) by studying her poetry, prose and autobiographical writings. In doing so, he reveals her thorough immersion in world spiritual traditions and how these traditions informed both the form and content of her work. Her engagement in what she would call “the hidden religions” can be divided into several phases: her years in New York from 1934-1960; her move to San Francisco and immersion in Zen; her studies of the I Ching, Paracelsus, John Dee, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, the Tarot and the Kabbalah of the mid-sixties; her later interest in Tibetan Buddhism; and her work with Chogyam Trungpa., Hardcover, Label: Bloomsbury Academic, Bloomsbury Academic, Product group: Book, Published: 2019-01-24, Release date: 2019-01-24, Studio: Bloomsbury Academic.

Diane di Prima: Visionary Poetics and the Hidden Religions reveals how central di Prima was in the discovery, articulation and dissemination of the major themes of the Beat and hippie countercultures from the fifties to the present.Di Prima (1934--) was at the center of literary, artistic, and musical culture in New York City. She also was at the energetic fulcrum of the Beat movement and, with Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka), edited The Floating Bear (1961-69), a central publication of the period to which William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olson, and Frank O'Hara contributed. Di Prima was also a pioneer in her challenges to conventional assumptions regarding love, sexuality, marriage, and the role of women. David Stephen Calonne charts the life work of di Prima through close readings of her poetry, prose, and autobiographical writings, exploring her thorough immersion in world spiritual traditions and how these studies informed both the form and content of her oeuvre. Di Prima's engagement in what she would call “the hidden religions” can be divided into several phases: her years at Swarthmore College and in New York; her move to San Francisco and immersion in Zen; her researches into the I Ching, Paracelsus, John Dee, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, alchemy, Tarot, and Kabbalah of the mid-sixties; and her later interest in Tibetan Buddhism. Diane di Prima: Visionary Poetics and the Hidden Religions is the first monograph devoted to a writer of genius whose prolific work is notable for its stylistic variety, wit and humor, struggle for social justice, and philosophical depth.
