although it’s difficult to choose…
my favorite remains diane di prima. her “memoirs of a beatnik” may damn near be the best book for a female to read right before going to bed. i’m just saying. right now i’m reading her newest book “recollections of my life as a woman”…very well crafted, beautiful for lack of a better word. her poetry speaks to my soul…velvety and sour…combined so nicely.
plus…may i just say i think the women of the beat generation have existed far too much in the periphery. if anyone hasn’t read the female beats…do it…they fill in so much information and give such a different perspective. a necessary perspective. (ok, i’m off my soap box now…)
