This is a really good resource, thanks for sharing.

Among many other fantastic political texts, I see my favourite collection of anarchist poems is there – “Revolutionary Letters” by Diane di Prima.

from Revolutonary Letter #7

but don’t get uptight: the guns
will not win this one, they are
an incidental part of the action
which we better damn well be good at,
what will win
is mantras, the sustenance we give each other,
the energy we plug into
(the fact that we touch
share food)
the buddha nature
of everyone, friend and foe, like a million earthworms
tunnelling under this structure
till it falls
