The author of over 30 books, di Prima is probably best known for her epic poem Loba and her notorious Memoirs of a Beatnick. In 1959 she stage-managed the Living Theater's Monday night series and later co-founded the American Theater for Poetry, where many of the plays included here were originally performed. The plays themselves vary widely in style, from an absurdist, though generally realistic, piece like "the Discontent of the Russian Prince" to more abstract works like "Orange Ice" and "Hanker." In "Zipcode," the poet recalls lost loves, wonders about past lives, and tries to fathom her place in the universe. "Whale Honey," which poet/playwright Michael McClure calls di Prima's masterpiece, imagines a scene in the lives of Lord Byron and Percy and Mary Shelley. Highly recommended.
