Diane di Prima:"O poeta é a última pessoa que ainda diz a verdade quando ninguém mais ousa"

“I think the poet is the last person who is still speaking the truth when no one else dares to. I think the poet is the first person to begin the shaping and visioning of the new forms and the new consciousness when no one else has begun to sense it; I think these are two of the most essential human functions”
— Diane di Prima
