One of The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of 2021. Praise for Spring and Autumn Annals: "This volume, studded with beautiful moments ... began as letters [di Prima] wrote daily to dancer and Andy Warhol acolyte Freddie Herko, who leapt to his death from a window when he was 29, leaving many projects and plans unfulfilled. ... With evocative detail and introspective insight, she writes of that loss and the feeling of being turned loose, occasionally unmoored, struggling to create art through years of living in barely habitable apartments. ... A useful document for scholars of the Beat generation."--Kirkus Reviews "A work of memoir and elegy by one of the great, under-recognized women Beats, a year after her death. Begun as letters to a friend, the dancer Freddie Herko, who died by suicide, the work is both a meditation on friendship and an account of a Brooklyn childhood that turned into a Village adulthood in the thick of a pivotal cultural moment."--Lydia Kiesling, The Millions "The book is a treasure. Moving between the East Village, San Francisco, Topanga Canyon and Stinson Beach with young children, Di Prima's life is unbelievably rich. She studies Greek, writes, prepares dinners and feasts, and co-edits Floating Bear magazine. Diane di Prima is one of the greatest writers of her generation, and this book offers a window into its lives."--Chris Kraus "Extolled by a writer who radically devoted herself to the experiential truth of beauty and intellect, in poverty and grace, in independent dignity, and in the community of Beat consciousness, Diane Di Prima's Spring and Autumn Annals arrives as a long-lost charm of illuminated meditations to love, life, death, eros and selflessness. An essential 1960s text of visionary rapaciousness."--Thurston Moore "Freddie Herko wished for a third love before he died; and what a love is in this book's beholding, saying, and release. Di Prima's dancing narrative, propelled and circling at the speed of thought, picking up every name and detailed perception as a rolling tide, fills me with gratitude for the truth of her eye. Nothing gets past it, not even the 'ballet slippers letting in the snow.'"--Ana Bozicevic "A masterpiece of literary reflection, as quest to archive her dancer friend's life, to make art at all costs and the price dearly paid. Di Prima's observational capacity is profound, her devotion and loyalty assures her deserved place as a national treasure. She generously instills in us the call of poetic remembrance as an act of resistance, and gives voice to the marginalized participants in experimental cultural movements that carried courage in creative rebellion while envisioning freedom of the human spirit. Di Prima's poetic memoir of the artist journey is a triumph. A must read and reread for years to come."--Karen Finley, One of The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of 2021. Praise for Spring and Autumn Annals: "With Revolutionary Letters and Spring and Autumn Annals , di Prima's conversations are continuing apace--a one-two punch of radical imagination and luminous language; memoir and mobilization."--KQED "Di Prima catalogs the settings and moments that make up a life lived between the countercultures of New York City and San Francisco: the black-box theaters of New York's Greenwich Village, tough conversations at Arthur's Tavern, 'the steam on the windows at Houston Street,' the drive to Stinson Beach, an endless rotating carousel of apartments and visits from friends. What emerges is a tribute not only to [Freddie] Herko, but to the practice of living collectively in an artistic community, in defiance of the pressure that capitalism exerts on artists to compete with one another. Her account is loving in its attention to detail, fascinating as a historical document, and moving in its portrayal of a life-changing friendship."--Literary Hub "This volume, studded with beautiful moments ... began as letters [di Prima] wrote daily to dancer and Andy Warhol acolyte Freddie Herko, who leapt to his death from a window when he was 29, leaving many projects and plans unfulfilled. ... With evocative detail and introspective insight, she writes of that loss and the feeling of being turned loose, occasionally unmoored, struggling to create art through years of living in barely habitable apartments. ...

Synopsis
Never-before-published memoir written during di Prima's residence in early 60s New York City. An illuminating snapshot of a young, female, bohemian artist in Greenwich Village. di Prima was a gifted writer deeply entrenched in the Beat-era scene. City Lights will simultaneously publish a new expanded edition of di Prima's influential book of poetry, Revolutionary Letters. Both Spring and Summer Annals and Revolutionary Letters will be published on the one-year anniversary of di Prima's passing, October 2021. Spring and Summer Annals details di Prima's relationships with several well-known artists in New York including the dancer Freddie Herko, who performed in Andy Warhol's early films and was part of The Factory. Herko and di Prima were cultural pre-cursors to literary and artistic couples like Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith, setting the stage for their creative kin. The book also details di Prima's relationship with the revolutionary poet LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka). Spring and Summer offers a fascinating look into the legendary writer's process, which endures as a point of interest to readers and aspiring authors. Spring and Summer is a prequel of sorts to Revolutionary Letters, detailing di Prima's life choices, which she then wrote about in her classic revolutionary handbook. There is a huge interest in the cultural life of Lower Manhattan during this time period, especially through the eyes of the women who lived it. Examples include: the popularity of Patti's Smith's Just Kids; Ninth Street Women: Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art; and the Netflix series Pretend It's a City with Fran Lebowitz. Differs from Memoirs of a Beatnik as this book is based on di Prima's real lived experiences, while that title had many notable embellishments to help its marketability., Lyrical and unforgettable, part elegy and part memoir, we present a previously unpublished masterpiece from the Beat Generation icon. Simultaneously released with an expanded edition of di Prima's classic Revolutionary Letters on the one-year anniversary of her passing. In the autumn of 1964, Diane di Prima was a young poet living in New York when her dearest friend, dancer, choreographer, and Warhol Factory member, Freddie Herko, leapt from the window of a Greenwich Village apartment to a sudden, dramatic, and tragic death at the age of 29. In her shock and grief, di Prima began a daily practice of writing to Freddie. For a year, she would go to her study each day, light a stick of incense, and type furiously until it burned itself out. The narrative ranges over the decade from 1954--the year di Prima and Herko first met--to 1965, with occasional forays into di Prima's memories of growing up in Brooklyn. Lyrical, elegant, and nakedly honest, Spring and Autumn Annals is a moving tribute to a friendship, and to the extraordinary innovation and accomplishments of the period. Masterfully observed and passionately recorded, it offers a uniquely American portrait of the artist as a young woman in the heyday of bohemian New York City.
