Where can I find writing by good anarchist poets?

I'm interested especially in living poets who identify as anarchists, regardless of what they write about.

Thanks for the responses, lawrence and dot! I'd be interested to hear about any more anyone knows about-- the more the better!

Diane Di Prima and Ron Sakoksky come immediately to mind.

Wikipedia has a large list. In addition, there are many anarchist zines that have poetry in them (try the website "zine library dot info"), Penny Rimbaud from the anarcho-punk band Crass has some good poetry, and many of the famous Beat Generation poets were anarchists.
