Diane’s a beat and New York School-influenced poet, who perhaps most notoriously had an affair and a child with LeRoi Jones while he was married to Hettie and before he became Amiri Baraka. “Roi” is oft mentioned in the earlier poems:

I wonder often what it is that you are doing—
How much of it is pride, or ambition
As we so easily say.
I remember the message I gave Freddie for you
That I would see you again at the end of this
(Meaning my marriage and yours)

—from section 3, “Note to Roi” in “Ode to Keats”

Though now she’s been married to at least 3 other men, had 5 or so children—

Many of the poems I like are the humerous ones, like “Nightmare 2,” when after trying to get a slimy worm out of her kitchen for hours, she gets the job done for her:

Whereupon looking down again I saw a line of sleek roaches was
marching the worm away and singing Onward Christian Roaches.
