Description

Revolutionary Letters by Diane di Prima is a powerful collection of poems that have been circulating underground since 1968. Written in response to the tumultuous times, these letters blend utopian anarchism with Zen-inspired ecological awareness. First published in 1971, the book has undergone four subsequent editions, with di Prima adding new work until her death in 2020. This final iteration brings together all of her previously published 'letters' and new poems written from 2007 up to that point. A handbook for countercultural living, a manual for street protest, and a feminist broadside against the repressive state apparatus, Revolutionary Letters remains as relevant today as it was at its inception.
