Guth radacach i nuafhilíocht Mheiriceá a bhí ag Diane di Prima, glór cumhachtach feimineach nuair ba iad na fir is mó a labhair ar son ghlúin na bhfilí Beat. Lámhleabhar na hagóidíochta frithchultúrtha a bhí sa leabhar aici Revolutionary Letters (1971) a léiríonn samhlaíocht útóipeach agus aird á tarraingt aici ar an éiceolaíocht. Sa dán eipiciúil Loba, ar tour-de-force é, tarraingíonn sí ar go leor miotas chun spiorad an fhaolchú mar bhandia a chruthú le cantaireacht orthaí. ‘Fuascailteach agus ar maos i bhfuil, dán do gach ré,’ a thug Robert Hunter air, liriceoir Grateful Dead.
Dairena Ní Chinnéide embarks on an intimate dialogue with the late radical feminist poet Diane di Prima, speaking to her spirit from west Kerry in a remarkable, evocative litany.
The poems are read to music composed by Nick Roth, with sections sung by Olesya Zdorovetska. Images on-screen by Margaret Lonergan.
