[Charles Agvent]

DI PRIMA, Diane. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). [Minnesota], [November 
1972]. A letter on the verso of a large postcard (8-7/8" x 9") of a Hopi 
Cloud Kachina by Di Prima to her young daughter, Tara, in San Francisco 
and SIGNED "Mommy." In part: "Are you having a good time at the John 
Muir school? I hope so. I am having a good time, too. The hardest part 
of my work is over.... I got your letter with the drawing, and I liked 
it very much. Write me another, and send it to New York City." Date and 
place derived from postmark. Near Fine.

Poet Diane Di Prima was a bridge between the "Beat" movement of the 
1950s and the "hippie" counterculture of the 1960s. She was co-founder 
of the New York Poets Theatre, founder of Poets Press, and collaborated 
with Leroi Jones (co-owner of Totem Press) editing THE FLOATING BEAR. 
She is the author of approximately 50 books. (#020058)        $150
